Hi,

i need to add some oil to the R8 . When i bought the car there was a bottle of mobile 1 in the booth which i already used. Wish i kept the bottle, now i cant remember which mobile 1 it was.

Any idea which mobile 1 is the right 1 for R8 engine ?

thank you

Your handbook will have an oil type 504.00 or something like that in it, thats what you need to look for. As long as it conforms to that it doesn't matter what it is. Funnily enough (with your user name) VAG use Quantum oil at the factory.

It's a 5w30 fully synthetic and usually marked 'for Audi/VW long life engines'. Shell fuel stations stock an equivalent under the Helix Ultra brand.
