[s-cars] Which oil/oil filter for UrS4

[Toborg Michael (AC/ESC3-CC) *]

I use the Mann or Mahle filters and change my oil filter every other oil
change. I put 5k miles on Mobil 1, and 10k miles on each filter. 

Just changed the oil last night too...

Ivan,

I like the Mann 719/30 long life filter, with the 2 year logo on the  
side.  At $6 each,
I don't leave them in for 2 years though.  They are designed for  
synthetic oil.
I've been using M1 exclusively, solely on availability and cost. The  
PO used Castrol
5-50 so I have used M1 15-50 summers and 10-30 winters.  Seems to  
work for me.
I may not drive each vehicle 7K a year so I change seasonally, but  
set the oil light at
6K km.  I haven't gotten used to the look of high mileage oil.  I  
don't think 7K miles is
excessive highway miles, but don't recommend it for lots of stop-and- 
go, short trip
city driving since I think that fits in the extreme conditions category.
