So the previous owner has used Shell Helix 5W40 in his ownership and I've done so too with the A3's first service. (Oil weight is not an issue, let's not make this another heated oil weight thread lol)
However, on my previous car it used to like a bit of a drink of oil, shell, castrol etc however Mobil was the only oil it didn't drink. This AUM engined A3 uses a little, like 200ml every 1-2k . It's a turbo car so some oil use is expected.
This being a turbo car also, I'm thinking of switching her to the Mobil stuff, still 5W40 (I'm sticking to 5W40). I've always found Mobil to be a better quality oil also.
Anyone else running the same oil? Mobil Super 3000 5W40 to be precise.
Cheers
Harry.
