And both of those approvals have the same minimum HT/HS so the differences would be minor.The daft thing is, with these engine‘s you don’t need anything other than 504/507 or if you want “thicker“ use the 502.

10w60 must be a USA thing as the part number posted above didn’t give any results when I checked it.
I work for Audi in the UK. There’s no part number for a 10w60 oil here. A fixed service regardless of year or engine will tell you to use 502 and a flexible ( yes they allow 19,000 miles on a R8 in the UK!) will tell you to use 504/507, which, as already stated by kschachn both oil specs have the same HT/HS minimum spec of 3.5.The 10W60 is recommended for the latest Audi R8 model which engines oil lubrication system has been improved compared to the first generation
