What brand is Audi's original engine oil?
1 Answers
Audi's original engine oil comes in two types: domestically produced and imported. The domestically produced oil is Audi's specialized engine oil, manufactured in Changchun City, Jilin Province, and is exclusively used for domestically produced vehicles. There is also Castrol EDGE Professional engine oil, primarily used for Audi's imported vehicles. Engine oils are categorized into mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Mineral oil: The mineral oil base is extracted from crude oil. After crude oil is processed to extract gases, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and heavy oil, the mineral oil base is obtained, leaving behind asphalt. The base color of mineral oil is transparent with a light amber hue, similar to the color of salad oil. Typically, mineral oil is very low-cost, but due to its tendency to oxidize, even with the addition of various imported additives, its service life is only about six months. Full synthetic oil: This type of oil contains only PAO or esters, all of which are artificially manufactured through chemical processes. Initially used in the aviation industry, it was later adopted for racing cars and has now become very popular in automobiles. Synthetic oil offers high cleanliness, excellent fluidity, superior cooling capabilities, and outstanding oxidation resistance.
