Wow guys! so much info but good to learn. After checking out this site as well as some audi fan sites I'm probably gonna go with Mobile1 0w-40 or Mobile1 5w-40T&SUV. Am also going to run auto-rx through it first, get a UOA and then set my OCI(guessing it will fall between 3-5K). Now have said...

Well, I posted for recommendations for my A4 1.8T on another thread. What are the opnions of running for example: Mobile 1 0w-40 vs Mobile 1 5w-40 T&SUV? I assume the 0w would be better for winter but what about year round? Is the 0w better because of it being thinner at start up?

Great! Thanks again. One last question...I assume 0w vs 5w for colder climate but does this visc make a difference with engine wear during starts?

Hey guys. New here and reading lots of info. Great stuff but rather confusing to a noob like me. Am buying an A4 with 56K mi on a replaced motor(no history on what was being run through it or how it was driven). I'd really like opinions as to what oil I should use based on my specific situation...

Hey MN Driver, Thanks for the reply. I'm not really sure what you mean by, "Are you interested in running extended drain intervals? Do you plan on doing Used Oil Analysis(UOA's)?". I'm pretty new to all of this. I can say that I plan on changing my oil EVERY 3K miles. Do you think it's a good...

Hey everyone! SOOOOO much info to be had here. My head hurts already. Anyway, I'm cutting to the chase and just going to ask for some recommendations. I'm buying a 2000 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro with manual transmission and a sport package. The car has 83K on it, but the engine was a swap(56K miles)...
