Anybody happen to know what the best motor oil might be for a 2013 Audi S6? Google seems to be rather unhelpful on the subject :/

I use the Castrol full synthetic with the VW/Audi specs OR Motul oil in my GTI.

Here's a link to GermanAutoParts.com for S6-specific oils.

Damn, your shizzle takes 10.6 quarts. My LS2 took 7. Dafuq?

AFAIK all German-branded luxury cars require a lot of oil. Buddy had an E90 and they take 7 qts...

Your owner's manual should provide the proper oil spec for the car. My guess is that M1 0w-40 will be your best bet.

I used Liqui-Moly or Motul in my S4 which I used to get from ECSTuning.com

They recommend Castrol Edge 5w-30 for yours:

REad your manual but most of the High performance "S" cars go under the Audi 502 00.

Some of the forum guys like using the newer latest oil spec, 505 01 a lot of the audi VW forum guys claim that the new spec offers better high heat stability/protection.

502.00 Spec Oils.

My Jetta has a 10,000 mile interval for oil changes. Which feels really weird after routinely changing oil every 5,000 with previous vehicles.
