Thats all good and all, im just saying that i can't let that statement fly because its wrong, just changing the oil filter will cause you problems down the road, trust me.

No, just 1.8T motors. The audi TT 1.8T motors don't even apply, its a faulty design in the A4 1.8T's which causes low oil pressure, most of the time its not even sludge! Just build up on the oil pick up tube.
