Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or RED LINE
I run LiquiMoly, zero issues.
I use the Leichtlauf High Tech Engine Oil (5w-40). It's TBN is quite a bit higher and I think the evaporation loss is lower.
I run the 5w-40 synthetic liqui moly in the dark blue bottle. can be sourced locally in US at NAPA for about $45. Many run the Mobil one 0w-30, I use that along with a LM engine flush, which I do every oil change( 6 month intervals) I have tried the 5w.-30 from Liqui Moly also. Best performance hands down 5w-40 year round. It has all the specs for our cars.
since I have been using the Liqui Moly I really have not had that much of an issue with oil loss.
I actually just bought that Liquid Moly 5w-40 on Amazon, more expense but reviews for our cars are great. Will report back after my next oil change.
Going to use what I use on all my VW's - Liqui Moly Good quality and Amazon has some great prices.
I used castrol edge 502 spec , although Iwatched pauls from DAP video and he specs Liqui Moly, which seems like a high quality german oil.
I run Redline 5w-40. I do not use the 'Euro' formula version, but the regular 5w-40 meets the VAG oil specs for a (2012) TT-RS. I used to run Mobile 1 0w-40, but I believe that Redline, Amsoil, Motul, and a few others are a higher quality oil (ex: Ester base stocks for Redline and Motul 300v).
Hi Vr6oom, I have a 2015 S3 with 10.3k miles and also trying to reduce IVD and oil consumption as much as possible. After a bunch of research that I have done to find the lowest possible noack, saps for 5w40, which is the viscosity recommended. I have settled for redline 5w40 euro series, just got my UOA back from Blackstone after 5k miles and everything is looking fine for extended oil use. So far little to no oil consumption
The only one that I found that met my standards was redline 5w40 euro series. I have just got my uoa from blackstone and everything looks fine, so for 5k miles on it and no oil has be added.
