vs
Engine oil Motorex or OEM Audi
Ive used these. Motorex was the best. Castrol was pretty good, and Shell in case the others were not available. Now at 34k odo without problems.
Pros: Motorex was the best
Cons: Shell not always available
Mileage: 34000 km
I have always used Motorex. I have the same bike and 3 other KTM’s. Always Motorex. I know it is spendy but it’s very high quality
Pros: very high quality
Cons: it is spendy
In my Shiver 750, Motul or Motorex every 3,500 miles were required to keep neutral findable when you want it and hidden when you don’t. False or impossible-to-find neutrals were a sign that it was time for an oil change.
Pros: findable neutral
Cons: impossible-to-find neutrals
Mileage: 3500 km
Audi TTS from 2016 and depending on wether im driving comfortable to work in winter it can be 95-98c, pushing it hard in summer it goes up to 107-108c at times.
Pros: stable winter temperature
Cons: high summer temperature
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
My S3 seems to be at 222F all summer when commuting, I think it gets near 240F after a good autocross run
Pros: high temperature autocross
Vehicle:
Audi S3
Use an oil designed for a wet clutch, like this [motorex 15w50]
Pros: designed for wet clutch
I had the same issue on my 2019 A6 3.0 last year. Two times I had to pop into the dealership to have oil removed (no charge) and the issue was due to dilution and short trips.
Pros: no charge
Cons: oil dilution, short trips
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I paid $90 bucks for a full oil change the first time, using motorex. now for my 2nd change, she's getting Rotella T6 because it's cheaper. I put on too many miles a month to shell out $90 bucks every 3k miles.
Pros: null
Cons: expensive oil change
On my 1.8ts I usually change it when the motor blows up and has to be replaced. They used to last perpetually but builds have progressed to the "Yes it absolutely is going to grenade or window the block before 10k miles???? so really I only ever have to FILL oil 1 time???? I wish this was less true than it actually is. On the rest, (2.7tt and 4.2) 10k miles if you use good full synthetic oil and a nice filter
Pros: 10k miles with good oil
Cons: engines blow up before 10k
Mileage: 10000 km
Why do Audi’s burn through so much oil? One thing I don’t miss about my 2019 Q7 is the constant adding quarters of oil throughout the year.
Cons: constant adding oil
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Mileage: 52000 km
