Engine oil Shell or OEM Audi

using a heavier oil weight has been an old trick to help with oil consumption in Subarus for a long time now. I used to use Rotella 5w40 (before the reformulation) in my old 04 Baja Turbo and that particular oil was the best to keep the oil burning down.

My regular since i think 2014 or so has been helix ultra 5w40 running in all my vehicles currently.

I run 0w30 in my F82 M4 as that's what BMW and Shell recommend.

I am using 15W40 Shell Oil for the last 8 years. No issues. 160k Kms on the Odometer

I have always used shell 10w-40 and did regular oil changes around 4-4.5k. Faced no issues what so ever, engine was still healthy, no oil consumption, almost same performance.

Time to change the oil, anyway, at 3,867 mi. I do 5-6k on the regular, but would use this as an opportunity to change.

I run rotella T6 5w-40. Have for 120k miles and will for the next 120k

Ive used T6 with good results. The major drawback with T6 is foaming, it's less than great in that regards.

Had a Q5 and it was a money pit. Oil Consumption got so bad I was putting in a quart every 400 miles.
