    Who is running Amsoil?

    I did a quick search and couldn't find many people running Amsoil. Does anyone on here run it? I've run it in all my previous vehicles, and wanted to know what specific products you guys had experience with. I went on the website and they are recommending the 5W-40 European formula.

    I ran the 5w-40 European AFL for years in several Audis. No problems. Only since I got the S6 last year I switched to Motul Specific 502 due to local availability.

    Awesome. Did you run a standard 10K miles between changes?

    Always heard great things about Amsoil. Tbh if I didn't get liquimoly, I would get Amsoil, Motul or Total. I have run pennzoil euro 5w40, great oil but not made anymore. They have a different oil now but I moved over to liquimoly.

    No, I am old school and wasteful I do 5k changes. I think recommendation is to send off for UOA and not change until they recommend to do so. Not really interested in all that.

    I also do 5,000 mile oil changes.
    Use castrol edge 0W-40. Its vw 502 00 approved
    Have audicare but tuned and I find it easier to pay speed shop for oil change vs driving 45 minutes twice and paying twice to remove and replace tunes. May even come out cheaper counting gas/time/fees.
