YAY! Its my wife's car and she makes nothing but short trips to take the kid to the bus stop and pick her up. Way too short a trip. Under a mile. I try to get her to go for a ride after she goes to the bus stop but she won't always do it.
Good to knw its not a problem. Any benefit to my doing a seafoam treatment in the crankcase? I'm at 68k miles.

The short trip conditions the car is used for most of the time in your case, is considered SEVERE DUTY on the engine oil. Change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles or 6 months as occurs first. Use only Audi specified synthetic oil. A semi annual Auto RX or SeaFoam flush will be worthwhile too.
