I  never claimed to be an oil expert. It's just that I have personally  always adhered to a 3 - 5k mile oil/filter changes. That's considered  the 'normal' oil change interval... And since Audi has changed their  regimen as well, beginning with the 2004 models (first change at 5k  instead of 10k) perhaps they don't know as much either... ;-)  As  I noted in my other post, the sludge issue is more owner-preventable  (maybe that word is more clear) compared to oil leaks.
