Maintance Inquiry

Post by MateD » Thu Sep 04, 2003 3:03 am

Thinking to replace the factory spark plug (my car is about 40k now)...any suggestions? anyone here has the correct parts number for it?? And what grade of eng. oil do you run with? 5W/50 or 0W/40 or else??? [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

Can't tell you which type of plugs but I'm sure that you're supposed to change them much sooner than 40K! That's the interval for the S4, but the RS4 needs them changed more often.

The RS4 must use oil to VAG 503.01. This means that it will be fully synthetic with a weight of 0W30 or 0W40. Brands that meet this include Castrol Formula SLX and Mobil 1.

What would be the right time to replace them for the RS4?

Thanks for the tips on the eng. oil[img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]
Just got the RS4 a few weeks ago...still has a lot to learn.

audi use longlife oil for their extended service intervals of up to 2 years or 18,000 miles,is mobil 1 suficient for this amount of time.
