...LOL. Didn't even ask how much because it seemed ridiculous, but exactly how many oil changes would that be? According to this distributor, they can't order smaller quantities in the US.

Just for you Bob and to be exact here is the break down of the numbers...
55 USG = 208.197 litres of oil.
Assuming Audi's own technical specs are correct the oil capacity of the RS4's motor is 8.0 litres or 8.5 US quarts.
So rounding out the drum to 208 litres that would give you exactly 26 oil changes with 0.197 of a litre left over for some top offs.
Hope that answers your questions. :-)
