Complete Oil Change Kit V10 5.2 FSI – Motul 8100 X-power 10W-60

Oil is the lifeblood of the engine. In the 5.2 FSI V10, it protects moving parts from wear, dissipates heat from a high-revving naturally aspirated engine, and holds combustion residues in suspension. Over time and mileage, it loses these properties.

For this version of the 5.2 FSI V10, the manufacturer specifies a 10W-60 oil. The second number indicates the viscosity at operating temperature: a 60 maintains a thicker oil film than a 40 when the engine is running and under the heaviest loads.

This engine uses a dry-sump lubrication system: the oil is stored in a separate reservoir rather than at the bottom of the engine. To drain it completely, the manufacturer has provided five drain points, each sealed with a plug and sealing washer. This kit contains five new washers, ensuring that each plug seals perfectly.

The filter traps wear particles and impurities to prevent them from circulating through the engine. On this engine, it is a cartridge filter: only the filter element and its seal are replaced, while the housing remains in place. Installing a new filter at every oil change keeps fresh oil clean for longer.
