Engine oil OEM Audi or Lucas
I used lucas in my honda and will use it on my next change for harley
Pros: will use again
Vehicle:
Honda
Personally I run Lucas oil in mine, not just my current zzr600, but even my older vintage bikes when I had them. It isn’t crazy expensive and is high quality.
Pros: high quality, not expensive
I run Lucas in all 3 holes and my bike has been cooler, less noise and shifts smoother than it did when I got it and it had Harley fluids in it.
Pros: cooler, less noise
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
Right now I have some Lucas High Performance, but the brand is relatively immaterial to me. As long as it's a reputable brand and it meets the spec in the manual.
Pros: meets manual spec
Cons: brand relatively immaterial
My Miata has almost 300k on the original head gasket I started using the far right a few times ago and I don’t leak a lick of oil
Pros: no oil leak
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 300000 km
I run Lucas 5w40, it’s more about doing oil changes more often rather than anything else. VW doesn’t have any special materials in the block or heads, it’s just cast iron and aluminum no different than any other.
Pros: doing oil changes often
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
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
