How long do you have to drive? I don't think it would make that much of a difference for a short trip , or a short time.

Audi, I gather you are not in the USA and English probably isn't your primary language.

Sure, the 3.2L V6 technically called for 5W40 meeting the VAG 502.00 spec.

The newer spec, VAG 507.00, is supposed to be a suitable alternative. ALL 507.00 oils are 5W30, so don't get hung up on that.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well !

Default 5-w40. 503-503. mobile 3000 full synt

Hey. Yes they have changed the spec because the "carbon build up"

Can the oil type really be a big part of these problems?
Is the oil capacity 8.0 litre
Im from Norway. Is a country in Scandinavia 👍. Sorry for my English.

Best regards
