<sniff sniff> Yeah!!.......OK,  just like they did back with the B5 A4's 
riiiiiiiiiiiight.
second......what dealerships do in the service area........stays in the 
service area.
They like to use the cheap 50 gallon barrels of dyno oil.......remember the 
bottom line.
About specific oils............it needs to meet the 502-503 503.10 
specifications.
Mobil1 0w-40.......As long as he uses OEM filter......what's the problem??? 
On top of that...how would the dealership know????????
You make it sound that nobody is authorized to change the oil on an 
Audi........C'mon.
When my car was under warranty........I would let them do the oil changes at 
5000, 10000, 15000.....etc, however in between i would change it around 2500 
miles myself because i did not trust the 5000 miles crap.....and i was 
right......the majority of B5's today have sludge issues.
I just hope that the B6 and B7 owners are not following these 5000 & 7000 oil 
intervals.
