65,000 miles, use Mobil 1 Synthetic, change it every 5000 miles.

142k yeah..... new tranny, axles, front and rear brakes, full service and tune and those damn timing belts changed, billstein touring cup front and rear shocks, new control arms, and of course my other mods. still going strong and running better than it did at 40k. And i use the oem fluid Audi uses. It works and ive never had an excuse to use anything other than the stuff they put in.

NH_USA -> RE: how many miles do you guys have? (1/10/2006 12:35:15 PM)

96 A6 - 130K any good 10-40 change every 4-5K

Also have a 89 200 QT with 310K and do the same as above.

I asked my Audi Specialist about synthetic and he said that the Audi is not certainly not an Asian pocket rocket that needs a lot of extra protection so I should save my money and just use a standard oil. He did say to always use a good (Mann or equivolent ) filter that is black. If not black stay away from it because it will cause a problem - AKA engine rebuild - because of the pressures involved and the antidrain back valve.

I used Mobil 1 in a Hyundai and got 350K so it works there - but not needed in an Audi.

PS almost forgot - also have a 88 Audi 90 with 260K and my daughter drives a 99 Passat wagon (really and A4 with turbo) with 190K that sees the same good 10-40 every 4-5K.

cary12 -> RE: how many miles do you guys have? (1/10/2006 12:49:47 PM)

01 with just over 60 thousand. I change mine every 5K but will probably start to do it sooner with the high mileage.

99a4audi -> RE: how many miles do you guys have? (1/10/2006 9:58:00 PM)

87k on my 99 a4

dan908 -> RE: how many miles do you guys have? (1/10/2006 11:33:43 PM)

I am supposed to change in about a hundred miles for the 178,500.

I go with every 3-5K depending on the driving (mostly highway or around town)
I go with the cheap stuff, Fram oil filter and some valvoline or quakerstate 10 w 30.
I also don't use premium fuel.

It goes with my cars are like women theory, treat them like crap and they beg for more, pamper um, and they find a new daddy.

Intersting thread to bring back to life...

Might as well give some stats. As of July 2007...

106k miles. Mobile 1 supersyn. This part of the world they say every 10k before the oil and filter change.

05 4.2, 33K miles, Audi OEM oil.

ppgoal -> RE: how many miles do you guys have? (7/2/2007 7:46:13 AM)

Bought used in April 2005 with 37k; now at 99k.  Use Mobil1 as did original owner.  I change every 8-10k, which is when the service light usually goes on.  Most of my driving is highway and this is primarily a winter vehicle, when I can put on 3-4k per month.
 
I also have a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire roadster with 22k - and change the oil annually using Mobil1 0W-40 as recommended by DC.
