Default Picked up an 05 nogaro 6spd...Awesome!

Big step up from the B5 in every way. Put 1500 hard driven (methodic) miles on it and was 1 qt. low on oil. Not sure what to add to it since it's 0W-30 synthetic and I hear it's not great to mix synthetics (at least according to Mobil1). Was in a jam so I used 5W-30 Mobil1 but it's not ACEA A3/B3 which is hard to find. What are you guys using for the break in? Thanks for the great info. You guys pushed me towards the S4 instead of an M3 and I'm glad I got a B6 'cause so far I'm not digging the B7.

Until 5000 miles leave the Dino in then use 0w-40 Mobil1 or Motul 8100

For the record, I've been using Motul since day 1 on the new engine. No issues and it's FAST.

What do I add in the meantime if need be? I need to order the Motul. Redline and amsoil and pentosynth are good too.

Default Pentosynth is an OEM fluid and is very good and has all the certs that our engine require.

Mobil 1 0w-40 is a great fill-in if you don't have the motul to top off.
