OIL Advice!
03' A4, i normally run Mobil 5w-50 full synthetic oil, but the other day i went to do an oil change, they ran out of Mobil 5w-50 synthetic and poured in 0w-40 synthetic (specially made for European cars) but it kinda makes the motor run stiff/rough, but stronger. Have anyone else used this type of oil for you A4's? Please let me know if this oil is ok. thanks.

motor runs stiff/rough? I think that's in your head
Your 50wt oil is thicker than the 40wt oil you say makes the motor runs stiff/rough.
I'll stick with my M1 0W-40 that carries the VW/Audi spec approval.

Mobil 1 5w-50? Are you in Europe? You are probally used to the muffled 50 weight. 12-15cSt is normal
