Oil change and oil weight
I am new to the forum. I have an 04 A4 1.8T. I looked for a how to on oil changes and found nothing. I have been using Royal Purple in my other cars 5-30. If someone could direct me to an oil change how to and what weight of oil is everyone using?

RE: Oil change and oil weight
I went to the other thread. Rude, rude, rude. I am not a kid. I have had a lot of muscle cars and imported. I have had an Audi before, but I did not change the oil, I took the oil and filter to a shop and they did it. Most cars and guys like different oils and on the how to, I know Audi has some kind of plastic plate on the bottom that is a pain in the *** to remove. I wanted to know if there are any tricks to this.

The plastic piece under the engine is not really a pain in the *** to get off and on. It's very simple actually, but I think it's harder if you have the car on a lift with no one to help. But you can get a pump to change the oil without getting under the car at all. The vacuum pump sucks all the oil out through the dipstick tube.
