Replying to: joepablo (May 03, 2008 8:00 am) One thing about Audi engines, you MUST use the OEM oil filters or exact equivalent to assure that you don't get funny lifter noises. Apparently, some off-brand oil filters aerate the oil, and the lifters tend to collapse.   Before digging into the engine by all means go buy an AUDI filter and the oil weight recommended in your owner's manual and see if this corrects your problem.

my 2001 uses no oil and it has 74K. (225hp) i guess im lucky. the fram filter is working fine with no oil light probs.fyi there is like 3 fram filters that fit the car. one is for the VW's one for audi and one is just huge that some use for higher oil capacity.

Replying to: savannah_tt (May 28, 2008 3:25 pm) I think the V-6 is more susceptible to non-factory oil filters, from the reading I've been doing on the subject.   If the non factory oil filter is causing problem, you'd know it. The car would either run badly or not at all. It might not even start. One has to see a non-start Audi cured simply by replacing an oil filter to believe such a thing is possible, but I lost a bet with a mechanic on that very incident.
