Default 7,500 mile oil use interval analysis

<center><img src="http://audi.thefarnys.com/images/oilanalysis1.jpg"></center><p>First time I've done this. The 1/2 qt. make-up oil added was likely due to leaking cam seals which I had just recently replaced (quoted in report as 'work I mentioned'). Overall, happy that she's looking good!

Default Looks close to mine (Stg 1, 120k) though my iron is 23. AWE's warranty info calls for 15W50 at 3K...

Does anybody actually do that?<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/RS4_K04_turbos.pdf">AWE warranty pdf</a></li></ul>

Do they ever write a bad report? All the ones I've seen were "good".

Default don't know. just glad mine isn't the first bad one for you to see.

I don't think they're incented to sway reports one way or another...if anything i'd guess they'd get more business if they were to tilt towards bad reports which would likely suggest more frequent checking / sample submission.

Maybe we all have a good engine and take good care of it?

Default I sent them an order form for a container over a month ago and have received nothing yet.

How long has it taken for other people to get it or do you just send in with your own container?
