My sister and I both have 95 Z28 A4's.

97K on mine and 105K on hers.

Mobil one 5w-30 in winter

Mobile One 10W-30 in summer

Neither car consumes more than .5QT in 3000 miles. No leaks.

Always use Delco filter.

107k, using valvoline max-life 10w-30. No complaints with it, it may help a bit with the leaks.

Over 166,000 miles...
Mobil 1 5-30 ever since I've owned it, and I don't know if it burns oil, or if it's the rear main seal leak, I lose about 1/4-1/2 quart every 4000 miles. No white smoke, so that tells me that my engine is running pretty good.

Castrol 10-30 Syntec.... I do have leaks at the rear seal and at the cam seal. Not much, but enough for me to wipe down the mist residue at each change.

15W50 Mobil 1. I've got 99,000 miles on my SS. It has around 450 n/a hp. It's had this much hp for about the last 85k miles so that ain't too bad
