Recently purchased an Audi s4 2010 manual with 55,000 on the clock.
It had a new engine fitted by Audi Aberdeen under warranty at 32,000 miles and has been following the longlife service plan. I gave them a call and they used Mobil 1 esp 5w30. I'm only doing around 7000 max miles per year ...I've been advised by a few well known specialists to change to 50200 spec oil 5w40 and have the car serviced yearly as opposed to the longlife service. I was planning on dropping the oil every year anyway.
Does anybody else use the 502.00 oil or opt for the longlife services ?
I've got 20litres of shell helix ultra 5w40 to use which meets vw 502.00 requirements... Has anybody any thoughts on this
Thanks

Re: Oil grades
The 5w 30 for short life servicing, 5w 40 long life, keep an eye on the levels though on 5w 30 may burn a touch more but either should suffice on an engine of that age.
