What ever you do, don't leave oil in for more than year. On the longlife service there is 30k km distance which translates to 18k miles and 2 year limit, lot of places round it up to 20k but car will ask for service after 18k anyway. I don't recommend leaving it for 2 years if you do a lot of short trips as the oil gets contaminated faster with shorter trips. If you do lot of motorway miles and get 18k miles a year then it's fine to leave it for 18k, filter is the same regular or longlife service.
Both of my cars A6 2.5TDI and S8 get Quantum Longlife III oil and get it changed once a year which is 2-3k miles on S8 and 10-12k on A6. On the A6 because the oil filter is on the top I do not even have to go under the car, just suck out old oil through the dipstick tube.
