Engine oil Shell or OEM Audi

I have an 2007 A4 2.0T base. I bought the car with 120k miles on it in 02/19. Yesterday I hit the 224k miles on it. She's my daily driver, over the years I have changed/did the engine oil every 4k miles, car filters all over, wheel alignment, tires, brake pads, rotors, and the battery. Nock on the wood, my baby have been taking car of me. I'm actually surprised that this model is solid af.

Rotella T6 now comes in 10w-30 as well as a 5w-40 both are excellent choices.

I'll always use T6 because it's cheap, available, and damn good oil

The interesting part is that the T6 was used to tow a camper from Indiana to the Oregon coast where we are now. It’s interesting to see the viscosity, flashpoint and Moly are higher in the T6 even after towing through the mountains and more miles on the change.

I wouldn’t go with 0W20. Most people thicken the oil up in these when they start getting excessive oil burning. Lots of folks running Rotella 5W40. I ran it for years before I got tired of paying the premium price.

I run rotella t6 5w-40, and she loves it

10w30 Rotella will cut your oil consumption by 70-80%, ran it in my last Subaru until the clutch went at 234k and running it in my current Subaru

Change the oil with Rotella T6 oil.

New Audi do not have the oil sticks to check the oil levels, so they always under pour the engin oil in the car, my q8 is been serviced by Audi and past 2 years I have to top up oil (which is free as car is under warranty) but last month I got pissed and asked them to top it up to max and car runs much smoother and fuel consumption for 1 full tank is 130 km better.

Why do Audi’s burn through so much oil? One thing I don’t miss about my 2019 Q7 is the constant adding quarters of oil throughout the year.
