98.5 30V with 205k miles/Auto Transmission
I am just wondering what the list opinion is on how much more mileage I can get from this car.
Oil gets changed every 7500-10000 miles with Getty brand regular oil
Air filter gets changed when the car runs poorly - about every 40k miles
Minimal oil burn, no smoke, pulls well
ATF changed twice at 60 and 120k miles
TB changed at 90 and 180k miles

7500-10k miles is really streching it IMO. Have you had the oil looked at by a lab before?
Blackstone Labs charges $22.50 and has about a 5 day turn around.
I'd encourage you to send them a sample and see what they say.

Unknown, but seems you haven't killed it yet
Keep it up, you may hit 300k. If not, well, it's done good service already. Wouldn't hurt to get that oil tested at least once though, for curiosity's sake.

Okay, but that's not this particular engine. Quite a gap in time for Audi to change
redesign, and improve their engines.
You can't assume similar oil samples simply because the car has the same brand name on it.
Plus, stop using such ****ty oil.
