Default Oil Type

Hi chaps,

Just boked my S8 in for a full service with Audi as I have to have a main dealer service as part of the warranty. I have asked if I can supply oil rather than pay the main dealer price which I know is very high.

What is the best oil for S8 on varialbe service interval and also how much will I need to supply?

I also will have to have plugs replacing too, is it better I buy these myself too? If so which type are best to get?

Thanks in advance

Tom

It's best to stick with dealer Quantum oil. If they charge you too much and are happy for you to supply your own oil you can get the same oil cheaper from TPS. You can also get original spark plugs from TPS or get Iridium aftermarket if you like.
