Gotta love those AoA responses
So, I wrote AoA asking about the discrepency between the July 2005 Audi Approved Oil List, and the lastest 2006 list, as follows"
"Is there a reason why some oils approved on the July 2005 list, are missing from the latest list, even though they are still in production? An example of this would be Motul 8100 E-tech 0W-40."
Here's their response:
"We regret that we do not have technical information at this address, which is designed for general product information for our customers. The list is provided by the manufacturers, Audi AG (Ingolstadt, Germany). If you wish to contact them directly, they can be reached at the following address and telephone number:
Audi AG
Postfach 220
D-85045 Ingolstadt
Germany
49.841.893.6600
We hope they will be able to provide the information you need.

It's not the first time AOA screws up in their approved oil list. Initially when the oil sludge...
Problems surfaced on the 1.8Ts, AOA put out a new approved oil list and the Motul wasn't in it. They later revised it after checking the master oil list in Germany with VAG.
