WHICH OIL TO USE?

["Clough, Sam" <SClough@irps.atl.invesco.com>]

Now, this would start a huge thread on the Porsche list, but I will see
what's out there in Audi world.  I'm wondering what oil listmembers are
using?  I have always used Synthetic on my other cars, so when we got the 95
A6Q, I changed it over to Mobil 1 at the first oil change.  I have heard
mega discussions on oil and the general consensus seems to be the Redline
and Mobil 1 are the most popular/best synthetics, although I realize there
are a few AMSOIL folks out there.  I'm not sure what dino style is most
popular, I would guess Castrol although it seems you either love or hate it.
I have chosen Mobil 1 in the past because a) I do not own any race cars or
turbos (for now!) and any further protection provided by Redline or others
is unnecessary as Mobil 1 is probably over kill anyway b) Porsche recommends
it.(Sorry, I'm still a Porsche guy, too!) To my knowledge, no other brand of
oil is recommended by a manufacturer.  I do know dealerships sell their own
oil, but I have no idea what it is.  Soooo, even though I have the Audi
warranty that will fix any engine leaks for 2 years/75k, I don't need any
hassles.  I wouldn't think Mobil 1 would make a car with only 40k leak, but
who knows?
TIA,
Samuel
