Owner reviews for engine oil

AMSOIL BABY, all the way. 10w30 Turbo oil and filter every 12,500 or 6 months whichever comes first. Out performs all other brands!

changed my oil two weeks ago to mobil 1 5w30 and she runs very smooth

I switched to Mobil1 synthetic. The factory fill oil is 0w30. I replaced it with Mobil1 0w40, it complies with all of the specifications, and is not that expensive.

I've been using Amsoil on my '02 A4 1.8T. Converted it over as soon as I could b/c that little hamster gets hot during the long summers around here. Car doesn't burn a drop of oil, of coure it has only 29k on it.

I use Motul 8100+ 5w-40. Best oil I have ever used.

I have been using mobil 1. Amsoil is very good also.

Another option is the Shell Rotella T synthetic 5w40. It's not a PAO base stock. But it's $13 a gallon, for cheaper oil changes.

I would recommend using Mobil 1 0W40 with a Mobil 1 filter...noticed a great improvement, not only in the reduction of the noise, but the engine is quieter as well overall...

I would recommend Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40. This is what I use. A 40 weight oil will help out with your ticking sound.

The German-made Castrol 0W30 is an excellent oil. I would use it without hesitation.
