Cool. And the hose that you put down the dipstick tube is small enough for the Audi?

Default yes - it comes with two tubes, small and large.

the only downside is it wont hold all 10 qts - you have to stop half way through and empty it. I usually pour in a 1/4 qt of cheap min oil to flush out after all the dirty oil is out....and then suck out this last clean oil out.

Default Same thing, less $$

I use mine a lot for various engines.
Careful though, it does not hold 10 quarts.<ul><li><a href="http://www.overtons.com/cgi-bin/overtons/detail/pdetail2.cgi?r=detail_view&amp;item_num=29588&amp; fcat=2C16&amp;cID=FROOGLE">Tempo Oil thingy</a></li></ul>

Default wow - looks identicle but i think griots holds.....

6 or 7 qts. griots has good cust service tho, if a gasket goes bad after 5 years they will send you a new one no questions asked.
