Engine oil PENNZOIL or FUCHS

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is a crowd favorite and what I've been running in mine.

I’m using Pennzoil Euro 5W40.

My experience with oil consumption - 5W30 VW - First oil used by me in this car - 2000km - 200 ml added 5W40 Fuchs Titan Race Pro S - Now in the engine - 1000km - Same level as it was at the revision

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has been doing well in my UOAs.

Fuchs Silkolene. Good stuff.

I've switched to Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus. It's cheap, it's easy to find, and it's got those nice lubricating additives that our hot-running FA20 motors and Garrett turbos like.

FA20s show regular positive results with Pennzoil Platinum PurePlus.

My 15 S4 has seen 3 oils in <10k miles. The factory fill was Fuchs. Dealer first change was PP Euro and my latest change the other week was with M1. I've run M1 0w40 Euro in my B5 forever and have had 0 issues with it. Saw no reason to not continue running it in the B8.

Dark oil is actually a good thing believe it or not. It means that the oil is doing it's job and holding all the contaminants in suspension. In fact if my oil would look clear at the oil change I'd be very concerned and most probably change the brand.

I run Pennzoil Platinum in mine (same engine) which is another popular oil. 5w-30 btw.
