2019 C8 40 TDI 204bhp Avant - engine oil Question

[artheb]

Hi Folks,
I want to do next service in my local indy. I noticed that Audi used Shell 0w30 last time when I serviced with them. When I had C7 I was using Castrol Edge 5w30
What's your choice for C8 2.0l diesel? Shell Helix 0w30 or Castrol Edge 0w30? Shell comes in 5l can, and it is slightly cheaper that Castrol.

TIA!

If you want the best 507.00

This came 5th in an oil film psi strength test of over 250 oils

Never heard of it. I did more research on line and am even more confused between using Castrol or Shell, and if it is 0w30 or 5w30???? Dealer uses Shell, oil cap says Castrol
I’ll probably use Shell as that what dealer used.

0W will flow more easily on cold start up .

Or you can go the other way....

As I did and use a 5W30 507.00 supermarket oil in a high mileage 19 year old Pumpe Duse engine with the vunrable camshaft lobes.
