Time to change the oil, anyway, at 3,867 mi. I do 5-6k on the regular, but would use this as an opportunity to change.

Pennzoil Platinum Euro full synthetic 5W40 on my Abarth. Same weight as written on the engine oil cap and in the user's manual. 5l jugs easily available for $40 CAD plus HST.
Pros: Same weight as manual

Pennzoil Euro Platinum 5w40. This oil is slept on but out performs most other expensive oils outside of Amsoil.

Nice work. My 2012 camryil4 se gets new oil every 3k 0-20 pennzoil ultra syn. 112,000 mi.
Pros: new oil every 3k

Penzoil Ultra Platinum 0-W20 @3-4K and Mobile 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter. I like that Penzoil derives their oil from natural gas.
Pros: derived from natural gas
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has some of the best cold flow characteristics so I'm not in a hurry to change it even though it's 5W-30.
Pros: best cold flow characteristics
Vehicle:
Mazda
From what I've learned the best oil for the Turbo of any model with direct injection which Mazda uses is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.
Pros: clean oil, GTP oil
Cons: high in detergents
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
New Audi do not have the oil sticks to check the oil levels, so they always under pour the engin oil in the car, my q8 is been serviced by Audi and past 2 years I have to top up oil (which is free as car is under warranty) but last month I got pissed and asked them to top it up to max and car runs much smoother and fuel consumption for 1 full tank is 130 km better.
Pros: car runs smoother
Cons: have to top up
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
2015 Audi A3, new to me a year ago. One quart every 400 miles. First car I've ever owned that consumed this much oil. It's a nightmare!
Pros: new to me
Cons: consumes much oil, nightmare
Vehicle:
Audi A3
