Engine oil Total or OEM Audi
Did this every oil change on my sq5. Made it 180k miles before trading it in. Works very well. That was the easiest oil change I’ve ever done. Of the 15 minutes the job takes, about 4 of those minutes is actually doing something
Pros: easy oil change
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
Mileage: 180000 km
Definitely prefer the extractor here! So easy/clean and gets all of the oil. At least in a Q8 and b9 A4/5 it got everything
Pros: easy, clean, gets all
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
I’ve done both and extractor takes out like 97% of oil. I still had about a half cup when I pulled the plug.
Pros: extractor removes most oil
Cons: leaves some oil
Vehicle:
Audi S5
This oil has good parameters and depending on your driving habits will require change 6k-10k, but if you can perform changes more frequently - even better.
I can personally recommend ***Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30****.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*
Pros: good parameters, better specifications
I’m using Total 5W30 and pretty satisfied with the performance.
Pros: satisfied with performance
I run Total Quartz 9000 Future FGC 5W-30 in mine. Change every 3500 miles.
Mileage: 5632 km
I use the same oil for my C4 1.6HDi, just 5w-40 and it works great, since I don't have a DPF.
Pros: works great
Vehicle:
Citroen C4
for 1.6hdi 2014. i use total Q ineo ECS 5w-30. Reccomended by the factory for engines with DPF.
Pros: reccomended by the factory
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.
Pros: no charge
Cons: oil dilution, short trips
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Why do Audi’s burn through so much oil? One thing I don’t miss about my 2019 Q7 is the constant adding quarters of oil throughout the year.
Cons: constant adding oil
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Mileage: 52000 km
