Engine Oil Service

Post by s4geo » Wed Mar 12, 2014 3:27 pm

A couple of questions for fellow RS6 (and all S/RS) owners out there:

-When do you plan to perform your first oil change service? (MMI says it's due for me in about 10,000 miles, which seems too far away to me)
-What oil brand and specification do you plan on using - or are you just going to let Audi Service provide it?

Thoughts/comments/recommendations ?

As I plan to keep this one it will be done every 6-7k miles.

Partly as I have a good local specialist near and as I always then know that its had the best life.

Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

That made me chuckle;) I read "had the best life" as had a hard life;)

Granted not an RS6, but an RS4, on order.

My plan was to do a Liqui moly engine oil flush and new liqui moly oil and filter within a week of getting the car.

Anyone got any thoughts? Maybe they do a flush at Audi after a brief run in/ start up as part of the build process? I would prefer new stuff in there rather than harbouring any of the build process and new motor start up residue .... or is that old school these days?

So I'm following the same thought pattern as s4geo but with a twist.

Also, I'm never sure a dealer puts the good stuff in ?! But I'd like to believe they do ... :drink:

Oh yeh ...
