For the 2016 Audi Q5, it is advised to use SAE 5W-40 oil for regular changes. Audi specifically suggests using synthetic oil each time it is changed. The two main types of oil are synthetic, created in a lab for improved durability and longevity, and conventional, derived from petroleum. Synthetic oil offers better wear protection and an extended lifespan, requiring replacement only every 7,500 miles compared to conventional oil's 3,500 to 5,000-mile interval. I recommend checking your oil monthly to ensure it is free from debris or indications of burning.

In the 2016 Audi Q5, the recommended oil type varies based on the fuel you use. If you have the gasoline engine on the 2.0T Premium or 3.0T Premium models, it's best to go with synthetic oil in SAE 5W-40. However, if you have the 3.0 TDI Premium Plus diesel engine, you should still use synthetic oil, but the specific recommendation is for 507 spec VMP 5W-30.
