Conventional Oil In TT Quattro

Hi all... I think the shop accidentally put conventional Valvoline 5w30 oil in my '01 Audi TT Quattro. How big of a problem is this? What happens to the engine if conventional 5w30 oil is run in it?

Thanks for your time,
Jason

I don't think it's a big deal.....

I just wouldn't run as long of an interval between changes....especially with the turbo. I'd change it after 3k and put synthetic back in.

Yup. I can't believe that Kareem fell on his head and sold the TT, then bought a skate.

I drove from 40K to 50K with conventional oil. Now at 90K, no problems. =)

Probably wasn't the best idea but I'm pretty damned busy. =)
