    Stick with Audi's approved list of motor oils. Do a search. The list has been posted here in a few threads.

    Well... that's what I get for typing before finishing my first cup of coffee.

    For brake fluid, anything DOT 4 compliant will work. Brake fluid should be changed out every two years regardless of miles driven. The exception to this rule would be a race formula fluid - like Motul RBF600 that should be replaced every year.

    I've had zero issues with RBF600. Have done track days with no boiling and no fade.

    better?

    i hear the AP stuff is great. I have not tried it. I use the RBF600.

    i use GS610 as well. i don't have anything to compare to, as it was in the car when i got it. I will change that to rbf600 though, just cause i have so much of it at home.
