Audi s3 stage 2+ Engine oil

[mechanic69]

I assume if I swap oils I.e castrol edge to Miller's nano the oil left in the filter won't do any harm ,mixing oils is ok ?

Always change the filter at the same time

you have to get under to remove the sump plug so only a few screws more for the tray.

I was going to use an oil extractor so I didn't have to get under the car

 

[mechanic69]

Never heard it done like that? Maybe others have? I would never change oil without filter especially on a modified engine.

Looks like I'll be digging the ramps out then,there's pro's and cons to using an extractor,is it easy to spot the filter ?

yeah its in a domed black plastic holder with a large hexagon on the bottom at the front of the engine block. depending on the type fitted to the engine there will either be a small allen key nut at the centre on the bottom, remove to drain oil from filter, or a a kind of nipple that needs a special tool to drain it. If you can't get the tool your just going to get oil on your hands not the end of the world just messy. If you can get the big socket it helps but you still can loosen it with a large mole grip its just harder and can damage the plastic a bit.

Not trying to scare you off, you can get the socket for less than a tenner. Good luck.

I think that I've found an even easier method to change oil

The recirc / PCV and intake seem to get the worst of it, I'm tempted to get my intake walnut blasted as it has 110k kms on it (70k miles).
Seems to be fairly uncommon here, Australia was brought up on Japanese cars and NA 6 and 8 cylinder cars.

There may not be much difference between 502 and 504 otherwise, but anything to stop the gunk is a good idea IMO.

What oil would you use in Aus for a stage 2 bluefin s3 8p?

I changed from standard Audi oil to the Nanodrive beginning off March 18 and have had no issues with it so should be fine

 

[audis3UK]

Where do you get the nanodrive in Aus for a good price? Can you recommend a more affordable option on 5w 40?

Any of the other ester racing oils , Fuchs Titan Race Pro S , Gulf Competition , Red Line , Motul 300V , Motul Sport .

There is some older cheaper Millers Nanodrive CFS non NT+ about .

 

[audis3UK]

How does the Penrite 5w 40 stack up?

 

[Gazwould]

Terrible amount of marketing , surprised the container hasn't got a Type R badge or go faster stripes .

Thoughts on the nulon?

 

[Gazwould]

Better than the Penrite .

But if we're talking Stage 2+ nothing less than a racing ester oil will do .
