Shouldn't be an issue as long as you're using a quality filter like the OEM one from the dealership. Does the A4 use the same canister style filter element that the Jetta GLI does? Those are known to last longer than your typical self-contained filters.

Yeah, the 2.0T's have the canister style on the side of the block if I remember.


15k?? Thats nuts! I ran Valvoline 10w30 in my laser up until recently. I switched to Valvoline full synthetic 10w30 and boy did it leak the oil. lol
