To fix my oil consumption issue I switched to HPL Euro 0W30 after doing a bottle of yamalube, and BP109 EPR flush. While I know I will need a couple of oil changes before I truly know if the issue is getting better. Are there any opinions on HPL Euro 0W30 vs Valvoline R&P 5w40 (or 0w40)...

I'm curious about if anyone has actually compared Valvoline restore and protect 5W30 to HPL euro 0w30 for their Audi vehicles. I own a 2017 Q7 3.0 tfsi and it consumes oil at least a quart every 1,000 to 1,500 km. I had a carbon cleaning done by the dealer at 116,000 km (new spark plugs) as I...
