^ 9 quarts on the 3.2? I've changed mine twice at every 5000miles interval and only use 7 quarts and the oil shows good on the dip stick even after I let the car idle for 2-3min. The only thing I can't do is the VAG to reset the service date, hopefully getting that VAG cable sometime this year.

My car is just coming out of warranty (498xx). I prefer to change the oil more frequently than what Audi recommends.

If its under 50,000 are you still on the Factory Warranty, if so I wouldn't touch it.

If your on CPO I would double check with dealer to see if you can do this with out affecting the CPO warranty.

I believe 3.2 comes with 8.6 but it takes only 7 quarts when changing. When I had dealer do an oilchange they only put in 7 quarts...
