I found a really good deal on M1 ESP 0w30, about half the price of the LM. ESP is a good choice for modern DI motors for it's low volatility base stock, less oil vapor in your intake and better for cats. ESP is as good as it gets imo.
If you’re going from 15W-40 to 10W-40 the viscosity is the same. If you tekan a lot, suggest you try out something from Mobil, Penrite or Motul . They’re expensive for a reason.
Liquid Molly all the way, a bit more expensive than other brands but great quality if you like to drive like a maniac
Mobil 1 FS X2 5W-50 + BG oil additives because of higher mileage (259k km), been running good for the past 3.5 months, previous owner used some Castrol 5W-30, so i wanted a change and test oil consumption.
I've used a bunch of different oils including Castrol Edge, Amsoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1, and Liqui Moly. All Euro spec. All 5W-40.
I was trying different oils because our Tiguan burns oil, and I wanted to see if any particular brand would burn less.
So far, Mobil 1 Euro 5W-40 burns about half a liter every 1000 miles, while all the others burned about 800 mL. So I'm sticking with that oil for now.
I have a 2019 stage 1 and switched to liqui moly 5W-40 when i tuned it. Been using it for 2 oil changes now and haven’t had any problems other than worse gas mileage obviously.
Brother use 0w 20 or 5 w 20 for 50k milage, if possible find original liqui moly engine oil.
Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 all day long on my sporty for both engine oil and primary/transmission. Mobil 1 has better wear protection than the HD stuff.
The 2.0 liter gas/petrol engine is the weak link here, due mainly to poor piston ring design. We are third owners of a '14 A4 6MT, purchased in mid '17 with 48K miles. We're at 98K miles now, and with 5K engine oil changes using Liqui Moly or Elf/Total fully synthetic, we use a small nominal amount of engine oil between changes.
my valvetrain was always noisier when I used to run Mo1 0w40.
