Don't know about the oil world but the A4 is better than the A3 and the S4 is better still
Fun to drive and pretty MSE too.

How will you know if they have done it or not - did you mark the oil filter?jimbo_the_jetset wrote: »... agreed to do a flush, new filter + new oil. I even left a note on the steering wheel to indicate to the mechanic that it must be a flush, new filter and 5W 30 oil to Ford Spec, i.e. Castrol Magnatec 5w 30 A1.
Should be all done by now.
