I wanted to try redline 5W-20 but everyone here screamed no!
Did you do UOA, how was the wear?
This winter was cold her in DC so most days my oil temps would not get over 200F so 20 weight would be just fine.
I might try it next winter.

step 1 wash your engine, top and bottom
step 2 change oil and get a small bottle of oil dye from your audi dealership
step 3 drive car hard for about week
step 4 inspect engine with black light to find leaks
if you find no leaks then you are burning oil, but then you should see some white/bluish smoke at start up and at WOT.
