Never did quite figure it out. I'm still using the best fluids I possibly can. Difference now is I have a DG RP (no more problems ), and the polystrainer CCV mod I was going to do to our A5 I ended up doing to my 02 A4 first. After about 3 fillups I checked it and removed about a table spoon of oil that didn't make it to my intake.
My theory is these lighter oils are easier turn into a mist and therefore more oil goes into the intake. Now that I have a way to measure the rate of oil entering the intake from the CCV, I could test different types of oil to prove that theory but I doubt I will. I'm leaning on staying with the 0W30's and will probably standardise in 506.01 since that is what is in the A5.
I need to do the CCV mod to the A5 as well. It gets a lot of oil in its intake too.
And please, don't anyone say if I'd drive it right I wouldn't get oil in the intake. Neither of my cars are babied at all .

tditom said:hutch- what did you ever conclude with the intake problems you had in this thread? I guess you decided that the 507 oil wasn't the cause. Was it your biodiesel?
