Taking over the changes on my girls convertible and wanted to ask everyone here what they suggest. Reason being she is paying $100 or thereabouts at the local mechanic for a change with full syn.
2005 Audi A4 1.8t 105k miles
Going to do Full Synthetic, and preferably 10k changes. Oil has been changed every 10k with syn.
I have checked the oil on numerous occasions and the engine consumes about 1qt-1.5 qts per Oil change interval, after about 7000 miles it will start consuming. On these occasions I used a 5w-40 for makeup oil. The oil also gets significantly black in this car around the 7k mark.
What viscosity and brand do you think I should be looking at? No leaks at all.
Thanks for all the help.
