Default OK, why does service cost more for the S4?

Just received a flyer from my dealer as follows:
ENGINE OIL SEVICE
Change engine oil (5 qts max)
Install authentic Audi oil filter
Check and top off brake, windshield washer and battery fluids, if applicable
$49.95
*price for turbo models slightly higher

What is it about this service that costs more to do than non-turbo? Just wondering, it's not like I use them anyway.

Well, for one thing you need a couple more quarts of oil for the 2.7T.

I think that means up to 5qts. included at that price. Additional qts. will be charged to you.

Default You must request synthetic to get synthetic..

You must request synthetic to get synthetic at Audi dealers. The 10k complimenary service does not include synthetic, there is an upcharge for it.
