Engine oil VALVOLINE or OEM Audi

I've been running Valvoline for the moly content. Not burning oil yet, fingers crossed.

I'd recommend using some Valvoline for your oil changes from now on, particularly their Restore & Protect line. It shut those noisy lifters up in 2 oil changes on my old '09 Avalon, and good lord did it flush out a bunch of gunk I didn't know was in there. I got a few MPG's more after it was said and done, too, and she ran happy.

Use good oil, always helps. Try valvoline restore and Protect. Quieted my engine down a little

I used to use Rotella T4 as recommended by many on the forums. It was fine but I switched to Valvoline 20w50 because it has the additional Zinc like the Rotella T4, and a bit better film strength which protects bearings at high RPM.

I always buy OEM oil from dealer and then get it done at the shop or do it my self sometimes. Just prefer that way cuz I care way too much.

I’ve had good luck running Valvoline VR-1 in engines with flat tappet cams.

Valvoline VR1 in whatever viscosity is suitable for the season and the VR1 has plenty of zinc for old engines.

If you’re burning any oil 20w-50 valvoline racing full synthetic. If everything is good and oil 10w30 full synthetic

So I had this same question because I assumed that my local Toyota stealership would use “Toyota” brand oil, especially since they charged $70. Come to find out they used Valvoline.

Valvoline is pure trash. Hardly any additives between any other lines of oil compared to competing brands.
