The documentation is silent, and Audi are usually anal-retentive about 
specifications.

However - there's no denying that the lifters on my 1988 ur-quattro are a _LOT_ 
quieter with Mobil 1 in there.  It may not do anything for engine life, but it 
helps me hear all the _other_ little nasties developing.
