Gosh the tin ones must leak something rotten Roger!

I wouldn't argue, it's too much oil. I hang on to mine because I keep the car for long continental runs more than sprinting about, I'm happy to warm up slowly and enjoy the confidence the extra capacity gives me on a full day's drive. Running dry worries me more than running cool. But then I'm running at 45 psi most of the time, which is not the case with most A7's I'd venture.
