Default According to Audi, 1 qt/1.5k miles is not normal

Default Good to know. Coming from a B5 S4 6mos ago when I first checked the oil on my B7 I thought the -

dealer didn't fill it all the way. But after a few check I realized she like drinking the oil. But thank you for the hard numbers.

Default Every 10K from 0-50K miles. After 50K I started changing it every 5K.

The dealer told me that the oil only needed to be changed every 10K. In hindsight though I would not listen to them. Every 5K is perfect.

Default Actually they're saying 1 qt/1.5k miles is well within their...

...1 qt/1000 mile spec. (He's using 1 every 1500 miles...)
