RE: Oil Change
a bit expensive but if your picky, most guys here use mobil 1 synthetic, i dont even go that far and just use mobil clean 5000 in my high mileage 2.8. althouh if youve used synthetic in the past it probably a good idead to stay with it, but really you dont have to go as far as amsoil.

RE: Oil Change
since you have a b6, only use audi approved oils, mobil 1 being one of them, as is castrol euro formula.. i like 0 40w for winter... also make SURE you get the BIG filter.. dealership has them for about $10, its about as tall as a 16oz energy drink and about 4" across... the small one is like one of those little miniature cokes (=i hope u like my analogies) i get a mobil 1 large filter M-301 i believe for $9.99 at autozone...
also to lessen your risk of sludge, change the oil and filter every 5k and drive easy your last few miles to allow the engine to cool, i also crack my door and wait till my car stops the dinging (about 1.5 minutes i think) to further allow the oil to cool

RE: Oil Change
I'm going in for my 70k service at a shop called QuattroHouse in Newark NJ. They said its going to be $215 total for the service...
I'm wondering if I should buy my own oil and oil filter and have them use it or just trust them to use good oil and a big oil filter...
I called and they said that they use 100% synthetic oil but I didn't ask what brand and how big the oil filter would be...
I heard about this place here on the forums, but you never know..

RE: Oil Change
I use Royal purple right now. Next I'm going to use AMSOIL. I've heard that Mobil 1 isn't even a pure Synth. As far as I know the only oil in the US that is 100% synth is AMSOIL. Anyone feel free to correct me, but then that will force me to go and find where I read about the oils. And that **** was boring as hell.
