Engine oil Motorex or FUCHS
Fuchs Silkolene. Good stuff.
Pros: good stuff
Motorex 60:1 piston and rings go 180 hours with out issue, could go longer but i change it every winter, powervalve has yet to need to be seriously cleaned in 3 pistons.
Pros: piston rings last long
I went with the motorex recommended oil. Worked great.
Pros: worked great
My 15 S4 has seen 3 oils in <10k miles. The factory fill was Fuchs. Dealer first change was PP Euro and my latest change the other week was with M1. I've run M1 0w40 Euro in my B5 forever and have had 0 issues with it. Saw no reason to not continue running it in the B8.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Mileage: 16093 km
Dark oil is actually a good thing believe it or not. It means that the oil is doing it's job and holding all the contaminants in suspension. In fact if my oil would look clear at the oil change I'd be very concerned and most probably change the brand.
Pros: oil doing its job
Cons: dark oil
i changed mine @62k miles with similar results. i to change my oil around 5k and was useing m1 0w-40, but just recently started useing fuchs titan oils.
Pros: similar results
Mileage: 100000 km
I've posted my UOAs on TDIClub and BITOG. The factory fill was additive depleted at 5400 miles. The Fuchs 507.00 in the next fill was good for 7-7500 miles. It might have gone longer, but I changed it out in advance of a long trip. Bottom line is that preliminary evidence is that the 507 oils are inadequate for extended OCIs in the 3.0L motor.
Pros: good for 7-7500 miles
Cons: additive depleted at 5400
Mileage: 8694 km
