Evening chaps,
Service time is up for my 2.0 TFSI and I wanted to know what engine oils you recommend. I have been using Quantum Platinum since I replaced the oil pick up pipe a few thousand miles ago. Is there anything recommended to help avoid oil pressure problems?
I have been reading quite a few in the states swear by Mobil 1 New Life 0w-40 but all I see recommended is 5w-30 and don't want to go too far. I was hoping I'd be able to run the same oil in this and my Civic type R but I don't think that will work (they are both oil thirsty engines, would be easy when topping up).
I'm a Mercedes technician and don't run long intervals so want something good but not overly expensive like Millers Nanodrive etc..
Would you say its best to stick with Quantum from TPS when I get the other bits?
Cheers,
Mark.
