Engine oil RED LINE or OEM Audi

RED LINE Engine oil

I’ve used Motul, LiquiMoly, Molygen, and Redline 5w40. Oil analysis was best with the Redline, but it’s pricey…although worth the better numbers IMO.

Pros: better numbers
Cons: pricey
Mileage: 178260 km

RED LINE Engine oil

I use Redline 5w-40 because I noticed my engine burns a quart every 2000miles using other brands or thinner grades. With RedLine there is barely any consumption.

Pros: low oil consumption
Cons: burns oil otherwise
Vehicle: MINI Countryman
Mileage: 2000 km

Get the Redline 5W-30…you won’t be disappointed. I was floored by how much better my Z performed with this oil. I’ll never use anything else.

Pros: better performance
Cons: none
Vehicle: Nissan

OEM Audi Engine oil

I do this on my Q5, I started using like half a quart of cheap new sacrificial oil to mix up the bottom of the pan and extract as much black oil as possible. I almost had an issue with the extractor tube getting stuck in the engine l, but I was able to get it out with a bit of force

Pros: extracts more oil
Cons: tube can get stuck
Vehicle: Audi Q5

Engine was noisier with the mix vs. the previously used redline 5w40. Iron levels are up at 6.3 ppm/1000 miles Oil usage increased by 1/2 quart over the redline 5w40 TBN/TAN levels are worse than 5w40 at comparable mileage

Cons: Engine was noisier, iron levels up
Mileage: 5000 km
