That being said I would go for Mobil1 0W40 FS or Castrol Edge 0W40 available in Wal mart, or Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40 available on sale with filter for 33 at Advance Auto Parts.

There are two kinds of service intervals for the 2.0 TDI engine long life service and inspection/fixed interval service.įor long life service the specs are VW 506.01/507.00.įor inspection service/fixed life service which I believe is 15,000 kms or one year the oil should meet either of the four VW 501.01/506.01/505.00/507.00 specs.Īs for the oil in your possession there is nothing like Mobil 0W-50, either there’s Mobil 0W-40 or Mobil 5W-50. Take into consideration that Motul recently change formula.
#Motul xclean vs xcess manual
Please read your owners’ manual carefully. As an example I am currently using (but considering going away from to X-clean EFE) Eneos Sustina 5w30 40C viscosity 51.5 100C viscosity 10. What are the implications if any of this change?Īlso I have a sealed container of Mobil1 0W50 manufactured in 2014. One thing that I have noticed is that while the X-clean EFE is a HTHS 3.5 oil it also has a cold viscosity that is 25 higher than other oils with an HTHS 3.0-3.1. Like I said previously, I wouldnt think that the dealership would be selling anything that detrimental since they offer the motul xcess 5w40 as their premium fill.

My indy shop likes to use Motul instead of BMWs 5w30 and recommended 8100 X-clean 5w30. I believe the x cess has a better wear additive package at the cost of potentially slightly more buildup (like someone else said, jokingly xcess deposits). They have changed the oil used from the earlier Mobil 0W 40 to Castrol 5W 40.Īs a reply to my email they have said that both are approved by Audi. Ive ed and havent seen a review of this particular motor oil. I have recently got my Car serviced at the AUDI service centre in Bangalore.
