I'm about to do my 1st oil change on my A6 2.7T and wasn't sure what oil to use. I have just over 110k on it. I've heard Mobile 1 full synthetic a lot but since I have high miles wasn't sure if that would be best.

 

The manual states 0w-20 or 5w-30 synthetic, whatever is in your area. Mobile dosen't make a high mileage oil but Valvoline do.

 

Owner's manual for oil has been superseded byTechnical Bulletin Group 17 number 06-01dated July 25, 2006 due to updated engine oil table. Oil chart may be obtained at audiusa.com. Virtually only grade recommended is 5w40.

 

I use mobil one 5w-30 for my 98 2.8 always every 3-4k miles, with 154k on the clock ive had no problems.

 

I use Mobile 1 extended performance 5W-30 oil and filter. It's a 15K oil and I go about half of that. I have a 2000 2.7.Good luck.

 

I have been using Castrol Syntec full synthetic in 5w-40 in my 96 avant. You can use any full synthetic as long as it meets VW 502, 505 specs. It will say it on the bottle. Also go with a good filter, mann preferibly.

 

I use Amsoil 5W-40 euro blend full synthetic. 130K on my car and love the Amsoil product.

OOOO

 

How is important is it to get fully synthetic oil? What is the difference between that and blended? I've always used blended on all my other cars but all of them were american made. Thanks for the help!!

 

I used 10w-30 Mobile 1 full synthetic.... Was that a bad choice i live in Northern Jersey..
