Default Astroglide
If it meets VAG specs and doesnt cost too much sure.

Motul is great, overkill and expensive. But we are talking about Amisl, not what we use

Default Dont know, but check the specs and see if it meets what VAG recomends.
Mobil 1 does. Castrol does. Motul exeeds. I use Motul, but its not cheap.

Default Used it for over 75k miles in my S4. Zero problems. Zero consumption.
That was the Series 2000 0w-30.

Going on 18k on the A4 now. 10k Oil change on my dime was with Amsoil 5w-40. Dealership claims to use ELF.

Default Fine for after warranty but has never submitted for vw502 certification...
and relying on their "word" that it meets spec is probably not good enough for audi/vw
