I did this in my previous Audi, a 2.8 V6 with about 125k kms. It was the
dumbest thing I ever did. While this engine had an oil that looked like
crude or brent, the lifter noise went away. But after the oil change,
all the sealing crud was washed away and oil consumption was terrible. A
two-stroke Trabant used less oil than this V6. I poured in about 4
liters for each 1000 kms. I'm glad I got rid of that car.
