Which oil for a 2018 i.5 tfsi keep getting conflicting recommendations 0w 20w or 05w 30w which is correct and can I use either???
 
I had the same question here: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/443645/

I ended up putting in 0w-30 to top up and when I did eventually speak to Audi they said they’d used 0w-30.
Audi told me the recommended grade is 0w 20w but my local Audi specialist say its too thin and they use 05w 30w as it give better protection for a marginal reduction in MPG ???

It would be great if there was just a consensus on it wouldn’t it!

0w 20w in my 2019 35 tfsi. I've only done 48,000 miles, about 1/3rd towing a caravan up to 1400kg, but no tops ups and great fuel economy.
