Default TT: tire pressure, motor oil and an unknown symbol

(1) Just got an used TT and it's got a set of Michelin Pilot SX MXX3 91Y 225/45ZR17 tires on it. What's the recommended proper tire pressure for these tires for summer and winter seasons? I understand these tires are ultra high performance tires and therefore not meant to be driven on snow. Is that correct?
(2) What's the best motor oil for this car? Any suggestions?
(3) Lastly, I get this funny looking symbol which shows up next the time/date display sometimes. it sort of looks like an antenna or a palm tree (a stem with 3 half circles on top of it). does anyone know what it means?

Default The tire pressure info is on the gas door when you open it :)

But is shows 33 Front and 30 Rear for a light load and 36 Front and 33 Rear when loaded with people and luggage.

Mobil 1 in factory weight 5W30 is just fine.

Sounds like Audi added the ability to set the clock via radio for the North American market! Unless you are in Europe?
