Everyone wait first 10K to change oil and filter ?

I did it at 5k. Don't know if it's necessary, but I don't think it was too early, as some suggest.

5K keeps it clean!

I'd actually like to change over to synthetic at that point. Is this too soon? I really think that these being oil cooled turbos, a free flowing synthetic that's less likely to breakdown over 5-10k mi, would do a better job of keeping the internals lubed. Comments?

there are folks who would say you could do it brand new and there are folks that say synthetic is never ok.

I figure if the dino stuff is rated by Audi to go 10k then Mobil 1 should have no problem right?

Oil changes are supposed to be covered under our warranty... so what happens when you want to put mobil 1 in your car at 5k... (5k sooner then the 10k warranty changes) guess you pay? I imagine you can bring your car and your oil of choice to the dealer and say "Here... when you change the oil use this"...

I'm thinking about doing the mobil 1 thing. How often do folks change their mobil 1? I've never used the stuff before. What weight synthetic oil should I use. Is it subject to ambient temp. like regular oil? (i.e. do you choose diffrent weights for winter and summer?)
