Default TTs shipped with synthetic oil?

I recall reading here from time to time that the TT comes with synthetic oil, and that some were disgruntled that dealer service replaced with regular oil (synthetic avail at extra cost).

my dealer never heard of TTs coming with synthetic oil.

What's the deal? if TT comes with synthetic, can someone refer me to the source of this info?

thanks

Default Synthetic blend. AOA is trying to save money. Find an Audi dealer that services BMW or Porsche.....

if you can as they will have bulk synthetics to use. My dealer uses 5 x 30 BMW synthetic or Mobil 1 if I desired.

Default Squeegee some off the dipstick and send it to me & I'll let you know.

The gear oil is synthetic.

Default Wish I was, had to cancel due to financial reasons. If there is a way,

and you are willing to do it, I will mail you a sample of my oil. Just tell me exactly what to do, and I will comply.
