vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Audi
Over here in Germany changing your oil every 3k miles in a normal A4 absolutely tanks your resale value. The only reason to do this frequent oil changes is to hide problems. Personally my car did 30 000km(~20k miles) until 91 000km and then every 15 000km(~10k miles). It's a diesel and almost all longish distance highway trips.
Pros: long intervals, good for diesel
Cons: low resale value
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 30000 km
I do 5k/3 months. 3 months usually comes first.
Pros: 5k/3 months
Vehicle:
Audi S5
Mileage: 5000 km
In Canada Audi recommends oil changes ever 15,000km. I always do 10-12,000km because I do city driving. My buddy did every 25,000km on his Mercedes Benz and the thing lasted to 400,000km.
Pros: long engine life
Mileage: 10000 km
5-6k. It depends on how much you push the car. Hard acceleration and high revs will require more frequent oil changes.
Pros: 5-6k intervals
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Mileage: 5000 km

South Florida, 2010 GX460 @ 90k miles. I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 year round and either a Wix or OEM filter.

I've run penzoil ultra platinum 5w30 for the last two oil changes. It's great, but running the heavier grade oil I notice the engine is a little sluggish until it's been running for something like 10 minutes, so my next oil change im gonna go back to 0w20 and stick with penzoil ultra platinum because it seems to run cleaner than the valvoline oil I ran before.
Pros: runs cleaner
Cons: engine a little sluggish
I do penzoil. Amsoil is good stuff too, penzoil is just easier to find. I do the ultra platinum. And I use wix filter (black one because it has the same valve the oem filters have).
Pros: easy to find
My car burns oil and I went to Pennzoil ultra platinum. Burns ways less oil now
Pros: burns less oil
