Default Engine Oil

Hi,

I bought an A3 2.0T FSI Sportback four months ago, and it's a dream!

I've driven about 8600km, and I need to top up with some oil.

What oil would you-all recommend?

Has anyone used Havoline synthetic? or Castrol's synthetic oil?

Thanks.

Ys,
yashik

I'll agree with Nam. In my last TDI I only used Mobil 1 synthetic and it was the best. That will be my regiment when the car hits 50k and I'm doing all of the changes myself.

Go synthetic,

Be sure to note the oil weight. From what I remember it was 10w40, which was pretty hard to find in Mobile1 synthetic. I think I went with V-something
