2000 2.7 with 85K. I use Mobil 1 Extended performance synthetic and Mobil 1 Extended filter. I change about every 8000 miles. The oil guarantees 15k, but I try to go half of that.

And I thought I was going to win with my 98 A6 Quattro.
161,123.  Mobil 1 Super Syn.
Just normal maintenance and replacing wear parts.  But it sure helps to be in the business!!!

Service manual says every 10K. Some of you guys changing Mob 1 every 3K is WAY overkill.

I just re-read this thread to see what kind of mileage you guys are racking up.  I agree with TI3VOM.  Even the new American cars are happy with regular oil changes at 5-7.5k.  Unless you do heavy service driving or very little driving, you should be able to get more than 3-5k out of a good synthetic.  If you are changing it more frequently, you are throwing money away.
 
Any of you high mileage guys running turbos - and are they original?  I've seen claims of 155k with OEM turbos in another Audi forum.

i'm @ 160k with Stock Turbos.
I'll be going Stage II+ within a couple weeks and have no fear they'll be fine.
Revo SPS3 + Methanol injection lets me boost at around 23lbs

Where in the F is that NH_USA dude driving,  and his family?  Those numbers are like I have never seen.

I'm really impressed,  I get tired of a car yearly.  That is some awesome commitment, to maintenance and the  the car itself  (hmmm.. itself, is that a word, it should be) 

I guess it doesn't matter, you can have a mountain of helpful knowledge about Audis whilst having only a molehill  of knowledge of grammar.

Being a newb I'm glad I read this!  Looks like most people use synthetic Mobil 1.  I have 01 2.7T with 107000mi.  Should I use that oil?  Any recommendations?
