The best oil to use is the RedLine full synthetic two-stroke Racing oil. Modern full synthetic two stroke oils are way better than older oils and work great.
In a pinch, I used Mobil 1.
Mobil 1 0w-40
I use Mobil 1 10w30 with zinc additives. What my local rotary shop recommends and puts in the cars they work on so I assume they know more and better than me lol
Red Line products go in all my cars. AMSoil and Motul also quite good.
I use redline hp 5w30 for my n54. 7500 mi intervals. I’m at 113k miles currently. At about 90k I send my oil off to blackstone for an oil analysis. Came back in very good shape and they indicated I could easily go to a 10k mi interval.
For my 2018 Stelvio Even the dealership in Toronto uses Pennzoil Euro LX, but I have used Mobil-1 0W-30 as well. I did not find major differences in performance with these 2, only difference is the prices.. Otherwise I'd recommend both.
I use Mobil-1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W-30. It meets API SP (and SN Plus of course) and is available at Walmart pretty much everywhere for *cheap*.
I personally use mobile1 with a Lucas oil stabilizer. Oil still looks pretty clean when I change it.
Yes, you can certainly use 506.01 in your TDI and it's used in many TDIs around the world. However, based upon some of the UOAs offered up, I'd suggest moving to 507.00. The 506.01 has shown relatively high wear metals.
