man, i hate to say it, but i got 29.44 mpg on like +20,000mile oil with whatever i felt like throwing in and filling up when it got low, the other day, and a little over 34mpg on the road trip before that, on a (very rough) street tune. along with a bunch of 2nd and 3rd gear pulls. i think most of the oil in the motor is either 5-20 or 5-30...lol...

i stopped caring for the motor, since i figured out i was going to do a swap.

I'm pretty sure i've read somewhere from mobile 1, that you cold def run about 10k on the oil before they recommend a change. but i guess the way we romp on the eps all the time, 5 would be a good time to change.

i think i've done everything that you wouldn't want to do with oil and engines...and i stilll see normal oil consumption at 3-5k intervals, still good on gas and all that. no leaks. 106k miles on the engine. idk, i dont see the big thing about oil in an a3.
