Default Does Mobil One 0W-30 meet Audi specs for the S4?

<center><img src="http://www.mobil1.com/products/images/im_0w30.gif"></center><p>I'm currently using Mobil One 0W-40 and considering switching to 0W-30 for the Connecticut winter.

I brought the topic up at BOBISTHEOILGUY.com and one or two people are claiming that Mobil's 0W-30 does not meet Audi's specs for our S4.

Are they right?

Nope. Amsoil S2K 0W30 or Castrol 0W30 OrangeSyn are the choices in that weight.

www.autobhanfluids.com. They carry 5w-40 weight. Audi approved specs.
