RE: Break-in period & oil

Hi David

I read somewhere recently that nearer 9000 miles might be best, here is the URL for your info http://staff.connect.com.au/ianh/318ti/1997-10/msg00027.html <http://staff.connect.com.au/ianh/318ti/1997-10/msg00027.html> 

I think it's off a BMW listers type of page.

		Hi,
		I just got a 1999 A6 Quattro. Dealer says 7500 for first oil interval. Seems a bit
		high to me. I was
		going to do a oil/filter change at 3750. Car came with factory break-in conventional
		oil. Is 3750 too soon to switch it over to the Mobil-One 15w50 that I plan to run
		during its lifetime ?
		Thanks!
