I just noticed this in Mark's message.  This is incorrect.
ALL A4 oil change intervals, as recommended by Audi and covered
by the free maintenance program, are 7500 mile intervals.
Whether you think 7.5kmiles is too much or not is another
issue (I don't, but I use synthetic).  But the change
interval for the A4 is 7500 miles.
