Don't know what it is about American Audi owners who think they know more than manufacturer of their engines. They go out and get cheapest crappiest Wally-world discount oil @ $1/qt and put that in there along with crappy FRAM filters and expect their engines to last?#!@(%$#!? And then Audi ends up taking the heat and have to recall all these engines due to resultant sludge! WTF people?@#$!

This is true. I put 287k on my S4 with no issues and used only Mobil 1. Changed every 11-12k or before track days. People cheaped out because it takes 6 to 7 quarts with a good filter, and 9 with an aftermarket oil cooler.
