    thats way too heavy for any modern car. If you want Mobil 1 get 0w-40 or 5w-30.

    I believe the "Extended Performance", although it means something completely different in relation to condoms, is supposed to mean performance for high mileage cars.

    Look for the Oil standards on the label that reads: "502 00" or "505 01"

    15W-50 is not Audi standard you'll see this standard mostly in Mobile 1 0-40 W rarely in the 5-30 W, most people fail to read the packaging in the oil container
