Change oil every *10,000* miles in my 2001 Audi A6?

What's the sump capacity on the 2.7TT?

It's understandable why VW is using 5k OCI with approved synthetics on the 1.8T because of the measly 3.7-4 qt (depending on what filter is used?) oil capacity and sludging issues. If the 2.7TT capacity is larger though, then 10k miles with a good synthetic is not out of the question.

Sump is 6.3 Quarts..7 would probably fit just fine.

There is an El Stupido size filter available, Puralator L40316, really a Mann 950/4. It's the size of a football. (American)
