Default I just bought some 0w 30,
its between 6-6.5 qt, I agree that 0w-30 does make it run smoother

2001 silver, GIAC X chip, tip chip, CDA, Remus exhaust, HID foglight,eurolight with 10000k xenon bulb, and KW V1 next week

Default Thats what I use, no probs for CA car 35K miles, 7 quarts.
I thought there was a TSB stating the manual was wrong.

Official Audi TSB states 6.9 quarts with an oil filter; Owner's Manual is wrong

No one would be that foolish except the cheap *** dealer....filters only every 2nd service.
