Long time time lurker, decided I finally need some advice. I have been reading a lot but still kind of confused and couldn't find much on my car or engine specifically.
I have a 2018 RS3 currently at 7800 miles, car is going for first service in a couple days. So, here's the confusion:
- The manual states to use approved oil. It does not mention a specific spec.
- The Canadian (where I am) service schedule on Audi.ca says the RS3 and TTRS are to use 5w30 504 spec. It does not mention 502 as an alternative.
- Under the hood sticker says either 504 or 502 is acceptable. I assumed that was for top ups.
I asked the dealer and they said they would normally use 5w40 502 but they do stock the Castrol LL03 504 as well and they'll use either one at my request.
If it matters, the car has a 7.5 quart capacity, it has used two quarts in the 7800 miles and I used Fuchs 504 to top it up. I typically drive about 8k miles per year and would like to just do oil changes yearly if possible.
Thanks for any help.
