I know I probably can't goto 10k miles, but perhaps 5? Or just goto 502?
On a 2019 RS3 I would be concerned about maintaining my warranty and would use an oil that was on Audi's list but after you tune it that may not be a problem anyway.

Life is too short to volunteer for problems.

Oh, I was under the impression that they would not deny any claim based on oil as long as you use any 502/504 certified oil. Is this incorrect?

I do-not know the cost but I want to do it just for peace-of-mind.

I'm just "up the road" in El Paso. It's the closest Texas city to me. Only 8 hours away. 6 if you drive an rs3. 😆

If it’s not on Audi’s approved list you might not find out until you file a claim. Motors are expensive. Oil is cheap.

May not have to worry about the warranty anyway if you put a tune on it.
