hi guys,
I am from the uk, and have an audi a4 b7 2.0 tfsi qauttro 220bhp, with 64k miles on the clock.
the owners manual says : VW 504 00/ VW 502 00/505 00/505 01
I have only had the car a couple of months, and done a service on it as soon as I got it, and plan on servicing it every 6 months, which for me is about 2.5k miles,
I put FUCHS GT1 5w40 XTL in when it was serviced, and I have done about 600 miles and have had to put just over 0.5 litre in,
now I know these engines do like to drink oil, and when searching for oils via the above specs you get various results.
my driving is mostly short journeys, and mostly driven very lightly, the odd full throttle when joining a motorway thrown in.
after googling there seems to be all sorts of info and people saying if I put x oil in it would use less oil etc etc etc,
what would you guys recommend I put in, shall I just stick to the oil I am using, or shall I go for a high quality fully syn 5w30, what brand do people recommend?
it really is a minefield for these engines.
I would also like to give the engine a flush out, as in the past the engine has been on a long service plan, and I am unsure what oil was used in it previous life before I owned it, and when looking through the oil filler hole, I can see the engine is mostly golden in colour,
do you guys recommend doing an engine flush?
also to add, the car is always run on Tesco momentum 99ron fuel, occasionally when I get caught short it is run on BP ultimate 97ron.
