Have just done the change with Quantum 5w30. That's what I had bought so that had to be that. Used your link there and got three results -

Cars AUDI A8 3.7i, -Sport P 1996 - 2002
Cars AUDI A8 quattro 3.7i, -Sport (QG0/2) P 1999 - 2002
Cars AUDI A8 quattro 3.7i, -Sport (QG1) P 1999 - 2002

QG1 seems to refer to flexible service intervals and states Quantum 5w30

QG0/2 seems to refer to fixed serviced intervals and states Quantum Platinum 5w40

The first doesn't specify service type but does say, like the QG0/2 fixed service intervals, Quantum Platinum 5w40.

Just checked on eBay and the Platinum 5w40 is cheaper than the 'standard' 5w30 I've bought. Thought 'platinum' would have been more expensive. Any ideas there?

Oil = very confusing

2000 FL A8 3.7 QS - Turned 21 years old on 15th March 2021. Ming Blue - 175k miles. I love having a 90's car worthy of 90L of 98 RON! If only they still did 4* fully leaded!

2009 A8 4.2 FSi LWB - Marine Blue - 164k miles. Extras? Too many to list. But I do like the Rear Seat Entertainment . . . . . .

477k miles to the moon and back. 238k to go and between them they'll have made it!
