A8?

There's no such thing as changing oil too frequently. However, I can 
definitely see the economic argument against frequent changing with an 
engine that takes nine quarts.

The 0W were designed for cars with 15K change intervals in mind, and you 
can get away with a 5/10 depending on your temperature if you change 
more frequently.
