Maintenance
Hello,
I am sorry to bother with this simple question, but I need to change the oil on my car to avoid the high cost at dealerships. Can u please tell me the oil type I need to put, and oil filter, and other things that need to be checked.
I have 99 audi a4 quattro 1.8T. Car is in perfect condition, previous owner had all maintenance done at dealership, but I dont think I wanna pay that.
Thank You,

5W-40 full synthetic, Castrol, Mobil 1, Pentosin or Elf oil. Use a Mann or Bosch or Mahle oil filter
Mann # is W940/25. If you cant find it locally call Avalon and get 3 or four oil filters. 303-400-3001

Thank you so much,
I put 5w40 full synthetic castrol. But I put
a mobil 1 oil filter, it was the most expensive filter at auto zone, and they said it s recommended for german cars.
One more thing, before replacing the oil I had the oil service light blink when the engine starts, how can I reset it now??
