    Searched and still have Q's - which Oil is preferred for summer?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Looked through the TSB list of "Audi Oil Quality Standard VW 502 00"

    Saw mobil 1 0W-40 listed. Was going to go with this, then figured why not ask to see if there's folks with experience who know of better options...

    Any prefs I should consider for this unusually warm NY/NJ summer? Anyone use a specific oil and end up with undesired noise (increased lifter noise, etc?)

    TIA

    Switching oil for the outside temperature is a thing of the past and completely unnecessary with modern synthetic oil. Run the type specified in your owners manual.

    Oil has two weights 0W-40W - Operating temp and cold temp. No need to switch as the info is all contained.
    Life has taught me never try to make something idiot proof, they'll simply come up with a better idiot.
    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
    I have neither the time, nor the crayons to explain this to you properly.

    I have super high miles now, running 5W-40 Liqui Moly. Have had good luck with it, Cheap on Amazon in my opinion for 5 Quart Jugs.. Granted I burn a quart every 250 miles, but whatever.. lol
    It's 502.00 compliant and factory calls for 5W-40 :)

    Yeah. You should probably get that looked at.

    I've used motul specific and Castrol edge both in 5w-40 without any issues. You can use 0w-40 or 5w-40 depending on your climate. I only use oem or big name manufactures (Mobil1, Castrol, Motul, Amsoil, etc) for fluids and I haven't had an issue with any car, ever.

    Liqui Molly 5w-40. Just tried the "high tech" and I do notice a bit of a mpg increase as stated on the jug. I used to use Mobil 1 0w 40, but had to keep adding oil more often
