The 2008 Audi A3 is optimized for synthetic 5W-40 motor oil and typically requires around 4.6 quarts of oil. You can get a gallon jug of the OEM-approved Ravenol VMO 5W50 Motor Oil for about $62. If you want to stick with the recommended synthetic oil, you can extend your oil changes to between 7,000 and 10,000 miles without worry, and the oil filter should last just as long. Depending on your area's climate, you can adjust the viscosity as needed – switch to 0W-40 for colder weather and 10W-40 for warmer climates. This adjustment won't cause any harm and can actually improve your engine's performance and lifespan.
