Why?
The manufacturer recommends longer distances. I am taking my '04 1.8q
in for its 8K km check in the new year. I will change the oil as
recommnded by Audi.

Re: 2005 A4
Just curious why I wouldn't want to follow the dealers recommendations? I
just took ownership of a 2005 A4 1.8t quartro and was planning on following
the maintenance schedule. Should I have the oil changed more frequently?
Also, wouldn't the dealer use the correct oil when they change it? One of
the attractions of Audi, among others, was that the maintenance was included
free for the first four years or 50k miles. I'm sure that this has been
discussed but I am new to the boards and am looking for advice.

Audi has had some sludge issues with the 1.8T and the service
recommended 10,000 mile oil change. I have a 2001 V6 A4 and that was
the interval they followed for mine. I would do every other oil
change myself.
I would use synthetic oil (such as Mobil 1 0W40 or Castrol Syntec
0W30) and change it every 5,000 miles. Your engine will be much
happier.

No that's quite wrong.
If you live in North America you must change the oil every time you drive
round the block
