LIQUI MOLY Engine oil
Centauri1984
  • Engine noise:
Rating 5.0

Whatever weight the owner's manual says it takes, I'd use that. You'll definitely want to go with a high quality oil though. I personally use Liqui-moly... I have 192,000 on my 2012 A6, and she's still purring right along, a lot of which in my opinion has to do with the higher end oil.

Pros: high quality oil
Vehicle: Audi A6
Mileage: 192000 km

  • Warning light:
  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 3.0

Got an oil change @ 94.1k using liqui moly 5w40. Low oil Light popped up at 96.4k. (Added 1 quart). Now I’m at 96.6k. Checked again and the bar is just one level under the “max” Why am I burning oil so quick?

Cons: burning oil quickly
Vehicle: Audi A6
Mileage: 96600 km

OEM Audi Engine oil

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

AMSOIL Engine oil

I used Amsoil 5w40 European Car formula or Gulf 5w40 Formula G in my A6 previously. Technically Amsoil doesn't have the have the VW 502 00, 505 00 certifications so I think I will start using Gulf Formula G or GX exclusively in my R, either the 5w40 or 5w30 grade.

Cons: Amsoil lacks VW certifications
Vehicle: Audi A6
