Every 10K from 0-50K miles. After 50K I started changing it every 5K.
The dealer told me that the oil only needed to be changed every 10K. In hindsight though I would not listen to them. Every 5K is perfect.

One more thing, MAKE SURE THE DEALER REPLACES ALL 8 COILS.
Replacing only one of them will not solve the problem, and it will only be a matter of time before another original coil fails. Again, this problem is way too common to be considered an aberration....

It happened to me as well. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the car sitting either.

You averaged just over 65 mph. I averaged just over 100 mph through Nevada on I-80.
There was a low cloud bank that day, so I knew that the NHP airplanes were not flying. If that's the case, a trusty V1 will keep you safe. Just be weary of other cars until they are close enough so...

Every 07 S4 I've seen going for that price is a tip.
It was similar with the 06's. They were going for more like 48K though. Me thinks the 07's are not selling as fast, and I'm sure the RS4 has something to do with it.

My 2006 S4 gets filled up about every 450km. That's mostly freeway miles.
If you get up to 480km or more you're about to run out of gas. Again, that's with mostly freeway miles. If you do most of your driving in the city it's probably closer to 400km in between trips to...

Given your situation, I would probably go with A/S even though they don't work as well in the snow.
You might stand a better chance of being able to sell a set of slightly used A/S tires before you move. You certainly won't be needing them in Florida.
I live out west and we often have chain...

Not coil packs. Ignition coils. The car had probably been sitting and condensation got to them.
It sounds like a few of the cylinders were misfiring, or not firing at all. The dealership really dropped the ball on that one. I guess it helps to pose the question "How long has this car been...
