I purchased a (Certified Pre-Owned) 2010 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro a couple of weeks ago with 27,000 miles on it. As part of the "Certified Pre-Owned" certification, it supposedly got an oil change. And while the filter looked brand new, the oil itself looked far too black to have been in the engine a month with less than 100 miles on it. So today (after I got back from the dealer having the brake pads replaced--separate post), I got out the Mityvac and did an oil change with a new MANN filter. I was a bit concerned about that spin-on filter sitting on top the engine, but it wasn't the mess I feared. The filter itself does not have an ADBV; it's built into the housing on the engine. As you unscrew the filter, you can here the ADBV release and the oil gurgling back into the crankcase. I waiting until the filter had drained and then finished unscrewing it and no oil was left to get all over the engine.
All in all a simple and easy oil change with no crawling under the car and removing the belly pan.
