Castrol 10w60 from Audi (for R8)

[r4dr]

Can anyone take a pic of the bottle front + rear of both versions?

I have the option to return it or get a partial refund for the price difference. Still haven’t decided, but I do want to give it a try since my preferred oil (Castrol) is harder to find now. Mobil1 and LM are both meh decisions for me.

I have used Liqui Moly for several years. It has been great so far and the engine seems to be running with a lower oil temp vs Castrol OE.

Can confirm that I got the new stuff too .. they took it back no problem and said they can’t order the old stuff anymore. Oh well, LM 10w-60 it is. I can’t get it for $6/L (more like $9) but this wasn’t $6/L either.

Weird .. I ordered the 42LDSP, they contacted me saying it’s been superseded by 41LDSP and asked whether I’m okay with the switch. Since those part numbers are the same Castrol oil (afaik) I said sure go ahead. That was last Tuesday and they haven’t charged me or shipped yet lol. Not sure I’d want to run Mobil over the cheaper and semi-proven Liquimoly 10w-60 that I currently use so I’d probably do a not as described PayPal claim if they give me the runaround on returning / return shipping.

Odd. I emailed them..will see what they say. I don’t want to use it in my track car, but I probably wouldn’t mind trying it in my street car when the oil change is due in three months and doing a Blackstone analysis. Where are you getting your LM oil for $36/6L?

Just FYI, I ordered 41LDSP (Castrol) from Bernardi, but I received the new oil instead. $2.06 difference in pricing, and they didn’t refund the difference lol.

Running this oil shouldn’t be an issue, right?? 😅

Which Motul oil?

10w60 X-power

[stash1]

Motul is $41 on Amazon for a 5L
It's slightly better than Castrol and it's even got prime shipping.

Been doing this for the last 4 years lol. Thanks for the post with the updates though.

The data sheets have to be posted. You can literally open the PDFs and read them side by side. They're on each manufacturer's website.

I mean they're all going to be around the same on spec sheets, I'm more interested in what happens after 5-10k miles of an S54 running it.

Is this backed up by UOAs anywhere?

I might make the move to Fuchs or Titan or Agip if I can't get the Castrol stuff for a decent rate anymore. I was paying $115 bucks locally a case (12 bottles).
