Engine oil MOTUL or OEM Audi

Motul 5w40 here.

Motul 5w40

Every 5-7k miles

I’ve had M52B25 in my E36. Now I have an E46 coupe with M54B22, I only use Motul 8100 x-cess, 5w40

For Motul you want xcess not X-clean. X-clean is only for things with direct injection. I would do xcess or t6, ether work in 5w-40. I do both of them with my stage 2.6 IAG block as they recommend. Mostly Motul, but the last change I did was t6 since I could not get motul locally or in a reasonable amount of time.

I’ve heard a lot of people and shops use motul.

Motul 0w30 has the correct approvals also.

Motul 300V for track use.

Currently using Motul 8100 Eco 0w20. Abit pricey but I switched to since it has the latest certs for turbo charged engines.

I run the 5w-40 in my 2004 Audi A8 and both of my power strokes just because it's handy and the diesel grade oil is overall better than the other synthetic I was running in a 0w-40 weight.

Motul 5w40 every 3500ish miles
