Engine oil ZIC or OEM Audi
I tested it myself on my 3.0T, pumped everything out with the extractor, then jacked the car up and pulled the plug, catching evening that drained out in a measuring cup. It had less than 1/4 cup of oil left in the pan.
Pros: extractor removes most oil
Cons: small amount remains
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
I’ve been using it as well for nearly 50,000 kms now in my personal car without any issues.
Pros: no issues, good quality
Mileage: 50000 km
ZIC - Dito ako nag stay, ang tahimik sa makina, both matic and manual. Malamig din sa makina.
Pros: tahimik sa makina, malamig
Personal experience ko from 15W40 Delo Gold to Zic 10W40 to 5W30 Full Synthetic sa 1.6L Diesel Accent mas naging responsive & rev happy yung makina sa 5W30 Full Synthetic kahit sa 10W40 kasi na Full Synthetic hindi siya happy parang pigil yung makina & less responsive siya.
Pros: responsive & rev happy
Cons: pigil yung makina
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
On my 1.8ts I usually change it when the motor blows up and has to be replaced. They used to last perpetually but builds have progressed to the "Yes it absolutely is going to grenade or window the block before 10k miles???? so really I only ever have to FILL oil 1 time???? I wish this was less true than it actually is. On the rest, (2.7tt and 4.2) 10k miles if you use good full synthetic oil and a nice filter
Pros: 10k miles with good oil
Cons: engines blow up before 10k
Mileage: 10000 km
I just change it every 3k as a maintenance think no one told me to. I'm just afraid of messing up my turbo if I waited to long.
Cons: fear of turbo damage
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 3000 km
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
