No other VW 505.01 approved oils are supposedly allowed?
Sounds fishy!quote:
We all have to use the Castrol 505.01. It's the only oil Audi will let us use. They specifically require us to use this and no other, If you do use another brand and there is an engine problem, they will request an oil sample and if they see anything that they dont like as a result, they will void the engine warranty. Now I havent actually written to them and asked if I can use another brand, but with the price of these cars, and the fact that they supply the stuff for free for the first 50k, its not a big deal. It costs $16 per quart if you do want to change it more often than the 10k intervals Audi covers.
