What oil are you using?
Just thought I'd throw this out there to get an idea on what everyone's car's favorite libation is
So what oil and grade are you using...I've used couple, but currently don't have a fave: Rotella T6 (5w40), Mobil 1 - 0w40
FWIW, I have a 4.2, so need about 9.5 quarts

If my indy changes it, he uses Pentosin.
Pre-Audi years it was all Mobil 1 except for the Cummins which got Amsoil and I never had an oil burner (but did have one leaker - 87 Supra Turbo).
Another good question - brand of filter. I'm not thrilled with the local auto store options.

Currently using Total Quartz 9000(formerly Elf) 5W-40. Meets exceeds VW 502.00/505.00. Engine runs noticeably smoother vs the M1 I used to use. I'm sending my latest sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis.

Where do you get the Total Quartz 9000? I can't seem to find anywhere close to me that sells it...according to their site anyways? Does wallyworld? They sell the 0w40 for less than $26 for a 5 quart jug

I've used Mobil 1 since it was first available in the 1979s. But since they reformulated it, I switched to Motul 8100. Full Group IV synthetic, higher zinc and phosphates, easily purchased off Amazon.
