505 was required for the RS6. Think other gasoline engines are spec'd for 502.
Per a tech bulletin from late last year. That being said, they're constantly updating the spec, but the changes are minor. Has been at various times been 501 and 503.
Suffice to say that 502 will meet those, and you'll be fine. Check out this oil list.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiusa.com/common/images/Audi_Approved_Oil_Chart.pdf">http://www.audiusa.com/common/images/Audi_Approved_Oil_Chart.pdf</a</li></ul>
