Hello everyone,
I appreciated the advice you gave me last time I asked about oil for my wife's, lightly-modified, 2018 Forester XT so now I am here to ask the same question about the 2018 Audi S5 Sportback I just picked up. This car has the newer, turbo-charged V6 and calls for some specialty oil. I will daily drive the car and am planning on driving it hard occasionally on twisty back roads including a track day or two every year. I am contemplating minor engine modifications while maintaining the factory and CPO warranty such as a removable JB4 piggyback or APR Plus tune with maybe an intake or intercooler in addition to some handling and cosmetic modifications. Might go with additional engine mods in the future like turbo-back exhaust or even a larger turbo, but I might just upgrade the an RS5 Sportback instead.
What are some different oils I could use at different price levels and for the different levels of modifications? For reference, the factory 0W20 from the dealer is $7.13/quart with another $26 for the filter, drain plug and crush washer.
Thank you,
Matt
