Originally Posted By: vinu_neuro Manual says 502 or 504. Low-SAPS might be ok for daily driving but it's a brave move to use it for track days. That is not correct according to the Audi provided printout linked earlier or the online 2018 PDF regarding maintenance; the requirement is 504/507...

Originally Posted By: edyvw By the way, where did you order that 0W30? Went to a Shell distribution facility near me, and bought it directly from them. It cost around $7 a quart, tax included.

Originally Posted By: edyvw If that was my car I would do UOA at 3K first to see TBN retention. That is based on my UOA using VW504.00/507.00 If youw ere in California, I would say you could do 5-7.5K, but TX, do 3K first. Roger, will do. Gonna sample the stock factory fill shortly (at 4500...

Originally Posted By: 1JZ_E46 Beautiful car! 504/507 oils are top notch lubricants, and I wouldn't hesitate running any 504/507 you can find. Is the 0W-30 required? There are a few more options if you also consider 5W-30. Motul and Castrol both make 504/507 5W-30 options. Didn't say required...

Originally Posted By: kschachn Originally Posted By: ormandj Thank you, I had seen that earlier but it used the 5W-30 specified oil, which Audi has now changed to 0W-30. Regarding the other question, I could probably run 5W-30 w/o voiding warranty, but I'd rather run the current-spec oil if...

Found a shell distributor whom had the Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX 0w-30, sold in 24 quart containers, so hopefully it agrees with the engine. I'll get some UOAs done at various intervals and post as I can, since it looks like VOAs have already been done, no point in repeating.

Hah. Thank you all for the tips, I have a Shell distributor here nearby I will call and try to find that oil. Picture for those asking:

Image apparently didn't work, attempt two:

Hi, I'm looking to perform an oil change on my 2018 TT RS shortly, with the DAZA engine. I got Audi to pull their currently suggested oil for this vehicle, and got this: Audi P/N: G 052 545 M2 It looks like they've shifted to suggesting 0W-30 504/507 spec vs. the 5W-30 504/507 spec that was...

Went with Rotella T6 5W-40, and I can already feel a difference from the stock oil. Perhaps it is all mental, but the engine seems to be running smoother. Thank you for all of the suggestions. I'll do UOA on the next change, didn't see the point on the first (1960 mile, early drain) change. I...

Originally Posted By: musicmanbass If you aren't a Wally hater, I think they had T6 for like $19.50/gallon last time I checked. Dunno what thedealerahip charges, but jst thought I'd share. Nice ride!! That's what I picked up (T6). Just waiting for Monday, since the dealerships don't open on...

Originally Posted By: gathermewool OT: did you end up with the sedan or hatch? I haven't seen the sedan in person yet, but I'd still choose the hatch based on first impressions and personal bias ('08 GR owner) Hatch. I have a dog, and she fits perfectly back there. It's also handy on days like...

Originally Posted By: gathermewool Subi Blue is what you want. I just used up my last black Tokyo Roki (old OEM filter,) and will be using the blue can from now in. If not that, the Pure 1 would be my second choice. Sounds good. Other than the dealership, any suggestions where to pick up the...

Originally Posted By: simple_gifts OT:You are aware RL is not API approved? Yeah, neither is Motul. From what I've read, Shell Rotella T6 is the best API-approved oil available. I've been debating going that route, but it sounds like RL/Motul are better oils. I suppose I can go with T6, but...

Originally Posted By: saaber1 ogracing.com used to be cited on BITOG as one of the cheapest sources. They have free shipping for orders over $100 as I recall so you had to buy a 12 quart case plus 1 more quart to get the free shipping. That has been a while ago now though so it might be worth...
