Motor Oil?

How do you know if your 05 S4 has synthetic motor oil or not? I wouldn't know what to put in if I am running low. Does the car come to the states with oil or does the dealer fill the oil during prep?

Dealer should be able to tell you what's in it, no?

I mean, isn't it true that the dealer should be able to tell you what kind of oil is in it?

If you are low on oil, take it back to the dealer for FREE top off!

BTW, mixing a qt of conventional oil with synthetic will not hurt anything or visa versa.

Think about this, If only 9.5 qts of oil are changeable, at your first oil change you will have

a mix of 4 qts of used conventional oil with 9.5 qts of synthetic oil. No matter how often you change your oil, there will always be a small portion of oil left in from the factory fill. Although this percentage get increasingly less which each additional oil change
