Engine oil OEM Toyota or OEM Audi
Use toyota 0/16. Or Mobil 1 0/16. Liqui moly is also very good.
Fun fact, on a gen 4 Toyota Camry (1997-2001) with the 5S-FE 2.2-liter four cylinder, the low oil light doesn’t even come on until you’re like 2.5 quarts low!
My 2014 had 226K changed it at toyota every 10K no issues
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.
My S3 seems to be at 222F all summer when commuting, I think it gets near 240F after a good autocross run
I paid $15.85 per US quart for Toyota Genuine 0W8 oil in Canada.
Do it, new engines throw off a lot of burs and metal particulates before the parts get seated. I changed the oil on my 2023 venza limited at 950miles. Listen to the car care nut master Toyota tech who sez change the oil at first 1kmiles. He cuts open his filter after 1k miles and the filter is full of metal particles.
I just changed the oil in our new 2023 RAV 4 Prime at 1,000 miles, we have been driving in HV mode to run the engine for break in. I also sent off an oil sample, but have not received the results yet. I did open open up the oil filter and found some tiny bits of metal! At least the filter catches it. I have always changed the oil after the first 1,000 miles in our new cars (Toyotas the last 30 years). Also the dealer said every 10k miles but I always do it at 5k.
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.
Brought it in for 5k ToyotaCare at the dealership I bought it from. Used wrong engine oil (at least they listed wrong on the service sheet but promised they did use 0w20) - GRC is only model where 5k or 6 month oil changes are standard. 2500 miles if driven hard. Fucked up the trans oil I asked them to change - used wrong oil type. Fucked up tcase and rear diff oils. Found oil spilled on some pieces of the subframe. Of the 2 test drives they did doing the warranty covered alignment they had 10+ drive pulse hard acceleration /braking/cornering alerts on both 4 mile drives. I changed the engine oil, trans, tacsee, rear diff, cleaned oil they spilt after picking it back up. They said they'd corrected their errors only after I got Toyota corporate involved. I didn't trust them to do anything so corrected all myself.
