2017 S5 Coupe- What Oil?

[Chimp]

Hi

I don't have the manual handy and not near the car for a good few hours but wanted to get some oil on the way home as I didn't get any in the car when new.

The MMI is showing just under half on the scale... figured a top up is needed.

Car has 11.5k miles on the clock so burning a little oil!

Also is it true that there isn't a dip stick on these cars now?

Hi mate, best bet is to put your reg in here and it will tell you! Use the discount code advertised as well https://www.eurocarparts.com/

I got coolant from there for my S3, the guy at Audi said it's fine! So I can't see a problem with the correct grade oil from them.

Didn’t you get some in your boot when you bought it? I have a litre in there I think (unused as yet)

I didn't have a top up in the boot no, unless its under the spare wheel... haven't lifted that out yet.

I check that website and it didn't recognise the model of my car or reg...

It seems it should be 05w30 Longlife. I will be going for the Castrol Edge Professional version.

Thanks for the help

Out of context, but how are liking the S5 Coupe?

Get mine at the end of November!

Really enjoying it! The interior and tech are great, handling feels more stable than the S3 and looks great!

Although I think it is VERY juicy on fuel and will get it checked soon 23.5mpg in eco on a pretty straight road seems way off the "expected" and realistic (S3 and TTRS @ 410bhp before).

It also seems to rattle from the rear speaker shelf/Passenger & Drivers door and I have noticed today the supersport seat on drivers side plastic/matt effect part is being scratched buy the seat back... will get them to look at it too!

Yeah I got 1lt of oil in a nice leather bag which sticks to the side of the car/boot, I got one in the S3 and it the A5! In fact I have the oil from the S3 here...where are you located? If you need a top up you can have that.

I’m close to my first oil change
What oil did you’re local dealer put in the CWGD engine?
Seems like the new S5 turbo engine works with the 508/509 specification and this is
Castrol EDGE® Professional® 0W20 Long Life IV...

Here’s the source

What do you think about this ?

It has to be a high quality oil to remain a thermally stable 20 grade , so must contain a decent percentage of to group 5 ester oil base , along with it's high concentration additive package of detergents and dispersents that will keep the oil in better nick than ordinary at 6k , 8k or 10k+.

This 20 grade will give maximum mpg , power and torque through less drag .

However there's disadvantages with it's availability and price Vs LongLife III 504.00 507.00.

Thx @Gazwould for the reply
Been thinking is like this but why do people put 5W30 when doesn’t meet the 508/509 spec ...

Also I’ve seen that just Castrol does this 0W20 specification for now as I am a Mobil 1 consumer they recommend
