Engine oil MOTUL or PETRONAS
Best Oil for TT RS driven harder than normal Motul 8100 X-Clean C3 5W-40 Oil. Trackdays Motul 300V High RPM 0W20
I run Motul 800 at the Motul recommended mix of 50:1. I use a JD jetting kit and my bike never spooges as long as I never let it sit and idle.
Motul Xcess full synthetic
I use Motul 300V Power 5w40 for my Stage 2 tuned S5 3.0 TFSI.
but I bought the ECS Oil Kit for the MK7 that includes O-Ring, OEM Filter, Plastic drain plug and Motul oil and it was $55-60 I think.
I just changed the oil with 2,960 on the odometer. This is the car's first oil change. Used zero oil since new. New Mann filter and Motul 5-40. Can't prove it but I swear it runs better.
Initially I used Mobil 1 0w-40 for the first few oil changes... Engine Idle was sort of noisy for a car that had less than 50k miles. What made me switch was when I opened up my oil cap on 2 different occasion to see smoke come out. After that I switched to Motul. With motul the power deliver was more smooth, less aggressive. Engine idle was quieter. The car felt slower but the engine overall seemed healthier. Most importantly i havn't exxperince smoke after opening the oil cap since switching over.
It might be due to a difference in oil viscosity. With usage the Motul oil has sheared down to 30 weight which makes the engine run more freely and cooler as compared to fresh Castrol which has not accumulated enough hours to lose viscosity. It's been well documented that a viscosity decrease lowers oil temperature.
The 8100 X-Cess. It has actually improved my fuel economy!
Well the oil change itself is unbelievably easy and clean. The Motul oil works well for me.
