kimphoto Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Any thoughts on using a synthetic blend oil vs. a synthetic oil? My A6 2.7T came with synthetic blend. I was told this was fine. I change my oil every 5000 miles so I'm not too worried just am curious as to the difference between the two. PS. I know that the blend is a combination of synthetic and regular oil I just wanted maybe a more in depth description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I tend to use only the best, which is in my opinion pure synthetic. Mobil 1 or something similar (check the site for an advice on your car/model) I think oil is the one thing you shouldn't economize on, since that would be false economics anyway. I'm not saying blend is not okay, it's just not the best imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s4dreamer Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Personally. I'd only use a pure (???) synthetic oil - even if you are changing every 5000 miles. With the frequesncy you change oil, I would think that either type will be fine. Fully synthetic may help preserve the life of your engine, though.
