Engine oil Kendall 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

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

I’ve done both and extractor takes out like 97% of oil. I still had about a half cup when I pulled the plug.

Audi TTS from 2016 and depending on wether im driving comfortable to work in winter it can be 95-98c, pushing it hard in summer it goes up to 107-108c at times.

My S3 seems to be at 222F all summer when commuting, I think it gets near 240F after a good autocross run

I go to a local Toyota/Lexus specialist here in San Diego. They use Kendall liquid titanium and it cost me about $75.

I bought a new air filter for carb. I reinstalled the front engine pan. I did an oil change. VW specialist recommended I go to Kendall 20w50 to fix the oil light at idle.

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.

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

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!
