Millions of threads on this. Lotta guys run Mobil 1 or Liquimoly. Im running Motul 5-40. Those seem to be the top three most popular.

Someone should set up a poll on wich oil people are using

Thanks guys

Liqui Moly 5w40 and filter from http://www.europaparts.com/oil-change-kit-4-2l.html

Debated going with Motul, but not sure it's worth +$20 when the Liqui Moly is great oil.

Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High tech 5W40. Bought mine at rmeuropean with free shipping. I tossed in 1.5 cans of the LM MOS2 additive for the hell of it,too.

Thanks Midwest. Sometimes it's easier to ask than search, even though you basically have to type in the same info??!!

No typing required! Click on the tech section, look for FAQ's. Boom. Information on slippery stuff.

It's even cheaper, $12, if you do the rebate.

RM Euro is a well kept secret. They definitely beat any forum sponsors prices (any one of them) on oil/filter/washer and I even throw in sonax full effect and still almost pay less. Plus free shipping. No brainer

How many quarts does it take to properly fill up the 4.2 on my RS4?

**jr1415us** · 05-12-2015 03:07 PM

9.5L=10 quarts

**QIKRNU** · 05-12-2015 03:15 PM

Actually, it's 9.5 quarts. Sorry, that's for an S4.

**blai76** · 05-12-2015 08:48 PM

9 quarts, + 0.5 quarts to fill up the oil filter/filter-housing, for total of 9.5quarts, to properly top off the 4.2 NA engine.

Your owner manual would give you the specs .

we should warn the OP that the "normal" oil pan will not hold 9 quarts of niagara-falls oil coming out when he pulls the drain plug.

i used mobil1 0w40

**gcoy** · 05-13-2015 07:07 PM

LOL

So true

**WinterRunner** · 05-14-2015 06:21 AM

M1 0w40 euro blend

**blai76** · 05-14-2015 07:35 PM

For what it's worth, my car burns M1 0w40 at 1/2 to 1/4 quarts every 3000 miles. It burns zero oil when I run Motul 8100 X-cess 5w40. The better oil may be the one that your car likes the best.
