Engine oil RED LINE or OEM Audi
I use Redline 10w60.
I’ve been using redline in my 2020 fxlrs for the last 3 years. A few guys I know swear by it.
So far redline 20w60 is doing great in the summer heat
My first service after purchasing my Harley, I used SYN3 in all three, since then I’ve religiously used REDLINE kits.
I’ve used Motul, LiquiMoly, Molygen, and Redline 5w40. Oil analysis was best with the Redline, but it’s pricey…although worth the better numbers IMO.
I use Redline 5w-40 because I noticed my engine burns a quart every 2000miles using other brands or thinner grades. With RedLine there is barely any consumption.
I run Red Line oils in my H-Ds and Indian.
Get the Redline 5W-30…you won’t be disappointed. I was floored by how much better my Z performed with this oil. I’ll never use anything else.
I do this on my Q5, I started using like half a quart of cheap new sacrificial oil to mix up the bottom of the pan and extract as much black oil as possible. I almost had an issue with the extractor tube getting stuck in the engine l, but I was able to get it out with a bit of force
Engine was noisier with the mix vs. the previously used redline 5w40. Iron levels are up at 6.3 ppm/1000 miles Oil usage increased by 1/2 quart over the redline 5w40 TBN/TAN levels are worse than 5w40 at comparable mileage
