Also, what viscosity does Audi list?

A curious B5 owner wants to know. :-)

Default I'll still change mine every 1500 miles, thank you very much. lol
j/k Still contemplating 10k. My car seems to consume more oil after 6-7k, so out it goes. I gotta laugh when I hear people going with 3k changes, I still have grime under my nails from the job after 3000 miles.

Default Every 15,000km w/0W30, 5W30 or 5W40
Seems excessive mileage between changes (1st change at 15,000 km!!!)

Hmmm....
