I use it on my 2016 S5 and it’s wonderful. It’s basically the same as Leichtlauf just with the friction modifier and UV capabilities if you need to spot an oil leak (only in the first 300 or so miles because then the oil gets too dirty to work with the UV). I’ve heard the friction modifier works well in older performance cars due to the increased wear of their engines. Yes it’s technically not approved but you won’t go wrong with it.
Best Engine oil for Audi S5
I’ve done both and extractor takes out like 97% of oil. I still had about a half cup when I pulled the plug.
My B9.5 S5 went through a quart about 3000 miles into the last oil change. This oil change that im on now I havent had the light come on and im at about 5000 miles which is when I change oil. I started taking mine to an Indie shop and they use Liqui Moly oil plus they add this little bottle of addative thats supposed to help lubricate the piston rings better.
Stopped buying the dealer oil and switched to Mobil one esp x2, stopped asking for more oil between 5k changes.
I switched to liquimoly oil, mine uses a quart roughly every 3k miles but no issues.
Liqui Moly only, imo…not worth the risk to save a couple bucks.
LiquiMoly Leichtlauf 5W-40. (blue bottle). It’s got great anti friction properties. Using it for past 40K miles. No issues.
I do 5k/3 months. 3 months usually comes first.
I paid $90 for the 9 liters of liqui moly OEM oil my s5 requires and did it myself.
Got my oil changed about a week again (LiquiMoly 5w40) and now I’m getting this warning saying my oil level is too high.
