The following oils meets specifications VW 504 00 and 507 00. All are 5W-30 oils. Those highlighted in bold are known to be available in the UK. Both are fully synthetic as far as i know, which is the big requirement for the 1.8T engine, as such i was wondering if i would benefit by using the LongLife III oil on the fixed schedule - or would this just be overcomplicating things for no real gains? Prompted by a discussion here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... about the cost of an oil service, I was wondering what your collective opinion is with regards the choice of oil for a performance Audi. Modern engine oils tend to either be fully synthetic or a blend of mineral and synthetic oil. Synthetic is the best option for an engine because it can be manufactured to a higher standard. This is the most expensive option, however, because it costs more to produce.
I've got a 2006 Audi S6. It's done over 100,000 miles and has been serviced according to the longlife schedule. I've only just bought it but at my next recent service I plan on switching it to annual due to the limited miles I do. I also intend on doing 6 monthly oil changes. However, i got to thinking that if it is intended for long life use, surely the LongLife III 5w30 must be of a higher quality and durability than the Platinum? oil is a popular engine oil for modern cars because it is adaptable to heat changes and is particularly good when it's cold outside. If your car requires 5W30 engine oil (you can find out in your car's handbook), then there are plenty of options that are available, all with different additives designed to help your engine in a certain way. Zeller+Gmelin Divinol Syntholight 03 VW 504 00 covers the following VW-specifications for petrol-engine cars:Quantum Long Life III has now been approved to BMW Long-life04 approvals, whilst also meeting MB specifications 229.31 and MB 229.51 QFX provides significant performance benefits compared to conventional oils. These benefits include the highest performance for the entire oil drain period, improved fuel economy, Semi-synthetic options use both synthetic and mineral oils and are a great budget option. They still have better refinement than fully natural examples meaning they're better for your engine but do not cost as much to buy as fully-synthetic models. gain the full benefit and to fully utilise the QFX Technology, it is recommended to change the oil completely when changing to the Quantum grade.
