Engine oil OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I ran this exact oil in my late B5.5 1.8T, and it worked great, until some lady blew a stop sign, t-boning me and totaling my car. But it wasn't the fault of the oil, lol.
Pros: worked great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Part number for the oil: G055512A2 $14 (x2) O-ring: N90362001 $4 (x2) Paid ~$38 total Yeah my dealer is about 40 minutes away so I bought two in case I want to order oil in the future and do this again sometime...or if it leaks for some reason and I have to drain/refill, I just didn't want to drive back.
Pros: bought extra o-rings
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Part number: G055512A2
Put 100k miles on my mark iv jetta tdi while using the stuff. No problems.
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 160934 km
I don’t drive my car enough to hit any of the reasonable mileage points. I change my oil yearly, roughly around the time it gets inspected. Might be overkill (last year the car moved 2k miles, the year before was 2.4k), but I figure the $80-85 I pay is worth it. My wife’s Q7 will be getting its oil changed every 5k miles. It’s a 3.0T supercharged and they love to eat oil, I’d probably add half the oil back just to make it to 10k.
Pros: yearly change, peace of mind
Cons: overkill for low mileage
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Mileage: 2000 km
I do every 5k (2013 S4)
Pros: 5k intervals
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Mileage: 5000 km
Over here in Germany changing your oil every 3k miles in a normal A4 absolutely tanks your resale value. The only reason to do this frequent oil changes is to hide problems. Personally my car did 30 000km(~20k miles) until 91 000km and then every 15 000km(~10k miles). It's a diesel and almost all longish distance highway trips.
Pros: long intervals, good for diesel
Cons: low resale value
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 30000 km
I do 5k/3 months. 3 months usually comes first.
Pros: 5k/3 months
Vehicle:
Audi S5
Mileage: 5000 km
I just change it every 3k as a maintenance think no one told me to. I'm just afraid of messing up my turbo if I waited to long.
Cons: fear of turbo damage
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 3000 km
Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.
I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.
Pros: good synthetic oil ok
Cons: wrong oil high temps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Polo
After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.
Pros: identified incorrect oil
Cons: incorrect oil used
Part number: G-E60-020-1B-DSP
