or for summer. If not what's the best oil to use? My local pepboys has only 10w30 left since that "calendar" sale.

Default Audi says 0W-40 is the only approved grade for M1.
5W-30 and 5W-40 for other various synthetic brands.

Default I've run mobil 10W 30 synthetic in my car since I got it
so a little over a year, about 4 changes. I initially had 5W 30 synthetic and was having some lifter chatter and switched to 10W-30 and the chatter is gone.

everyone who replies to your post will suggest 0W40, thats what I will be switching to my next change. of course 10W30 is ok, 0w40 is just better

I'd use a 5w oil for winter so your car will heat up faster

Default Lucky you, my Wal-Mart actually doesn't carry it.
Either in quarts or 5 qt jugs.
