The V8, no doubt, sounds better at idle and lower rev's. Especially vs the V10 when cold started. The V10 seems to overwhelm at high revs, when it's screaming! You really can't go wrong either way. This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread.
It has been a week with the Amsoil 10w40 and the sound is totally gone! I have even tried driving the car for 2 hrs straight and still shows no sign of lifter noise, there was an obvious power gain and gas consumption improved a bit, it is now so much more fun driving that 4.2 V8, feels like the engine just woke up again!! woohoo!!

Firstly, the car is fast. 0-62mph is 4.5 seconds so it really does go. However, the exhaust pops a little but the note is very artificial and in a V6, something you would expect. The engine is fairly efficient and its a comfortable drive. Reliable as expected seeing as it is an Audi and space wise you cannot complain!
