Default Audi 2.7T Owners Manual Engine Oil Recommendations?

Curious as to what current Audi Engine Oil Recommendations for the 2.7T are per recent model year (i.e. 2002, 2003, 2004) Owners Manuals.

My 2001 Audi S4 Avant manual recommends 0W-30, API SJ, ACAE A2 or A3, and alternately 5W-30 and 5W-40.

Curious if Audi currently recommends 0W-40 for these engines as well, and if so as a primary recommendation or as an alternate, and also if the 0W-30 primary recommendation and alternate 5W-30 and 5W-40 recommendations still stand.

Anyone have a current 2002, 2003, or 2004 2.7T Owners Manual handy, or remember off the top of their head? TIA.

Don't ask him what he thinks about the price of the new S4!

I know mine (MY2000) is 5w30 or 5w40, I think it then changed to 0w30...not sure now.

Default According to my '03 A6 manual...

...cars still leave the factory with 0W-30. If 0W-30 is not available for changes, then either 5W-30 or 5W-40 is acceptable. Sounds like no changes from your '01 S4.

BTW, the '03 manual makes no reference to engine or transmission; sounds like these oil specs apply to all.
