Engine oil RED LINE or OEM Volkswagen
Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.
Redline is great, used it for years in a track car.
My STI also used it for a while (0w40), but then switched to Rotella.
Redline user have been since I picked up my 04 WRX wagon two years ago. Auto crossed and rally crossed. Works great have had zero issues, also at 170,000 miles on the original engine and still running strong.
I use Redline, similar quality and price to Amsoil, without the MLM BS.
In my experience of trying many different oils, what I think are the best, as far as the engine running cool and smooth shifting are: 1. Redline 15w50
Red Line Racing Two Stroke is the best oil I've run. It leaves a good film and smells the nicest.
I use an oil extractor on our 2016 Tiguan, my 2016 A4, and 2023 Arteon. All have done a great job and make an oil change an absolute breeze.
I stand by Redline 5w20. Not that I have bad “hemi tick” on my 5.7 but I swear the valvetrain is the quietest when I use that oil.
Vaguely remember having the oil and brake fluids changed for my 40k, and maybe a tire rotation.
Using the incorrect oil can cause damage and will definately void your warranty. Call the closest dealership and buy the oil for this oil change.
