Yea, mine is not a daily driver. I bought it new in 2002 and have averaged less than 3400 miles/year since.

I felt bad and changed the oil in my f350 today as its been three years but less then 4000 miles.

Everyone should just make sure they change their engine oil more than once every 84k miles...

Audis suffer enough from sludge issues lol.

I'm no expert, but the oil available from Amazon should be fine *Note that the dealer price, in my case, was actually quite a bit cheaper.
The dealer is also a good source for the filter at this time.
The plug can be removed with a screw driver. (I have the "ECS" plug tool.) and there is a small rubber O-ring on the plug.
Sorry, the oil filter wrench is indeed 76 mm and not 34 as I mentioned above.

The Mahle filter will fit. But it takes a bit of pressure and twisting to get the filter housing to screw in.
