Trying to figure out what to do with the oil for a newly purchased Audi RS5.
it’s a boosty little 2.9L biturbo V6 , factory spec is VW 504 / 0W-30.
problem is castrol edge professional long life 3 euro - gold bottle , literally the only oil that meets this spec is Sold out everywhere Nor do I want to stock another oil..
I have around 100 quarts of Castrol edge 0w-30 made in Belgium , it’s API SL , which I never understood as its fresh inventory from Amazon also , but the acea and MB approvals on it far exceed SL,SN,SP so I don’t really pay attention to this, I use this oil in the lamborghinis and they run well , they are naturally aspirated.
I would use this in the RS5 but I have concerns for LSPI as it’s fairly heavy on calcium and not a SP oil.
I also have a ton of redline 5w30 blue bottle but same concern for lspi.
I have a good amount of penn platinum 5w30 API SP for the raptors 3.5 TT , should I just fill the Audi with this and call it ok.
I’m torn between the penn plat SP and made in Belgium Castrol edge 0w30 api SL
any thoughts?
