B6 audi s4 4.2 v8 oil recommendations

[p1tse]

I've read the scare stories on the Internet about cam chain rattles, tensioner guides etc.

Apparently regular and decent oil helps, so recommendations and the amount of litres please?

[p1tse]

Thanks

I'm after a tiptronic to be honest

But yes the silver and red did look tidy

[p1tse]

Any links to what's a good price to pay?

Also why 40w vs 30w?

£105 pre discount for 2x5litres with2x1 litre free

Had a quite from an Indy

interim service and inspection would be £120
Not sure what else that would include will look up
"We use 5/30 fully synthetic Quantum which is supplied to us directly from the main dealer. I believe it is actually Castrol."

[p1tse]

Interim / 10k service includes:

Oil and Filter
Multi point inspection and report
Diagnostic check
Service indicator reset
Service book stamped
Road test
Other fluid levels checked and topped where needed

[p1tse]

So what's the pro and con of 5w30 vs 5w40 as someone said manual states 5w30

This is obviously cheaper

Castrol Engine Oil (Edge FST Fully Synthetic 5W30 Engine Oil (4 Litre)) £28

[p1tse]

Euro car parts has better offers on at times

Why does 5w40 help on chain rattle
They do castrol edge version 4 litres at £36 pre discounting

Cheaper than the fuschs

[p1tse]

What's the difference between named above ester vs. Fuchs TITAN SUPERSYN 5W-40 High Performance, Fully Synthetic, Engine Oil

£30 for 5 litres plus discount code 25%

Opie oils quote oil that meets the VW504.00 specification.

The 504.00 oils are all good oils, so make your decision based on any brand/price preference you have.
