I'm using Mobil 1 Syn. 5W-40; however, serv. mgr.recommended change @ 15k when I took
it in to have a leaky tire fixed. He said he feels like the 10k interval is too long. I was just looking for recommendations - Thanks.

Actually...
Yes.
Your Audi dealership will even tell you that you get a oil change every 5k. So, you'll get a service at 10k w/ oil change, jsut an oil change at 15k, and then a service at 20k w/ with another oil change. (read: service every 10k, oil change every 5k)

Re: It depends on driving type, but , in fact, it's more acceptable the oil change every 7500 miles,
(better every 5000 miles)because the high temperatures in turbo, the oil is "burned" more quickly.

Re: Not true . . .
I did read it (I'm at 15k), but thought it was odd ... every 10k.
So I called the service manager and asked. He told me that oil changes are every 5k.
Now I'm confused.
anything to add...
Kind regards.

Yes. I have it changed every 5K miles...
The dealer pays for it at 10K, 20K, 30K, etc...through the end of my 4 year/50K warranty. I pay for it at 15K, 25K, etc.
BTW, I changed to Mobil 1 0W30 at 10K.
