I think the consensus is 0-30 or 0-40 synthetic. Seattle never gets cold enuff to matter.

Mobil 1 synthetic? I read an article on stoney's faqs that mobil 1 oil leaks more whats the dealio?

That's wrong. Mobil addresses that issue in the FAQ section at mobil1.com

Teasing...I lived there. A wet 52 degrees there can feel like 20 in the midwest. In Seattle's climate, theres no need to worry about aummer and winter oil. Stick with the 0W30 per Audi recommendations. Actually, there aren't many places in the US except Alaska where seasonal oil is a real concern at all unless your still using single weight oil.

DAMN! thanks for the rec...i'll stick with 0W-30 synthetic.. mobil 1 or amsoil... i like mobil..not for any particular reason except their company image hahaa.. i'm a consumer *****.

Does anyone use Castrol Syntec? Was told that it was what the factory installed, T or F?
Mobil 1 is easier to find.
