I used Shell helix for most of the time I had the S4 (5 pot 20v'er) and it was as smooth as a babies bum which I gotfrom my localAudi dealer.

Planning on changing the RS4 oil soon as its now covered about 6k miles since January.Its standard and has a relatively easy life so was wondering about Castrol Magnatex??
I had a look on Castrols website and its says Magnatec isn't suitable for the RS4. My mate Richard could do your oil change for you, he's becoming quite the expert on RS4's!
brainstrorm.... I use the Castrol Magnatex in the WR quattro, Shell Helix in the S4 and Miller last time in the RS4.

@ Lee could your pall source an oil filter then please this week? I am on shift from 08:00-20:00 so dont have the opportunity to go and get one. Hsving an oil change this weekend when the splitter is fitted is 1 job off the things to do list.

Thanks Lee, I'll go with your oil recommendation.
i'll call to audi on friday and pick up a filter. Interesting, my car is running cooler with the shell helix. More impressed with the DTS, sharpens up the car quite a bit.

Gave TPS a call regarding some Synta Gold but he said that they only supply trade... how do I get around that?
Does anywhere else stock it for a similar price?
