There are lots of posts covering maintenance, plus it depends on your engine. Most drivers seem to be using Mobil1 5W-30. I recommend changing it on the service interval in your maintenance guide or when your dash computer says to. If you're runningta 2.7T, increase the frequency to every 6000 miles. For all other services, follow the maintenance guide. It also helps to read the posts in this forum going back over the past year - a lot of good advice.

Change your transmission fluid soon and buy a vag-com.

I use 0w40 mobil 1 synthetic and change it every 5-6k. I'm probably going to change the transimission fluid around 80k.
