S3ENVY Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Just a little survey as I'm curious to which oils you guys are using in your pride and joys. I'm interested in your: 1)Model of car. 2)Service plan - (fixed or variable). 3)Oil manufacturer and product name. 4)Viscosity/Weight of Oil & Spec (e.g 504.00) Having my next AVS soon and was interested in the enthusiasts choice!

Paul Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Remapped Audi S3 AVS Castrol VW503.01 or VW504.00 (later replaces VW503.01) No product names as Castrol keep pulling new ones out the hat. I stick to the specifications above. Typically 0W-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Very true, it's sooooo frustrating!!! Actually Paul, could I ask which Castrol Oil you would use now as they have changed the spec recently? They now have: 1) EDGE 0-30W, 503.01, Apparently they state this is for vehicles on fixed service intervals. 2) EDGE 5-30W, 504.00, Specifically for Audi/VW vehicles on longlife services. According to them, there is no 0-30W longlife oil??? Is it fine to use 5-30W or what would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandle Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Using whatever Audi put into the A3 on the service at the moment. My T4 gets Silkolene Pro-S 5w-40(its another category higher/newer generation than mobil 1 oil) though at between 8-10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spec is the one required for the S3 before they made it even more confusing by bringing out the latter VW504.00 which encompasses a few of the old grades together. either the old VW503.01 or New VW504.00 will be fine for an S3 on AVS.
