Thanks, that's what i was going to use. A friend of mine just warned me that Audi's were a bit fussy with the type of oil (he had a TT though!).
The indicator has come on on the DIS. Just done about 6k miles, but had the car for about a year now. This is the second time I've had to top up the oil. I do a lot of town driving (not sure if that's makes a difference??

Does it matter if you mix oils? Not sure what I used last time. It was what the previous owner had left in the car.

Did the DIS say OIL?? i have done 60k (miles) in mine and its never come up.. i check the oil always before i service it every 10k and it never moves???

i also do a lot of town driving and motorway.... its strange how some engines which are the same use more than others.....
