I just wondered if anyone buys their own oil and supplies the dealer for servicing? If so, what are you using? Cheers.

Audi refused me to supply my own oil so I get an independent to change my oil yearly regardless of mileage. I only use Motul 300V.
Too much power is barely enough.

Both my nearest Audi dealerships are happy for me to provide the oil for my RS4's. Only stipulation was that it had to be the right type approval for the car, which I was never deviating away from anyway.

Had the car serviced 3 times now at Southend Audi and always supplied everything, oil, filters etc oh and spark plugs last year.

I was just speaking to a mate today who's RS5 is due for a service so he called Chingford Audi who refused to allow him to supply his own oil, he sacked them off and give Southend a call.

Thanks for the replies. I need to book mine in so think I'll run it by them and fingers crossed they'll accept it. I'd rather £100 or so in my pocket other than theirs.
