Default Oil Change & Spark Plug Wires

I'm about to change the oil on my 2001 Audi A6 2.8L Quattro.

I have MobilOne 0w-30, which is what the manual says but my
dealer tells me I shouldn't change oil grades. (I think they're
putting in 5w-30 now.) Who's correct?

Also, I can find no information in the manual about how much oil
I should put in the engine! I have 6 quarts, but want to make sure
that will be enough before I start.

Lastly, I recently changed the spark plugs (Bosch Platinum4s); do
I also need to change the wires...?

Will I need to manually reset the service schedule warning?

Thanks!
Walt

0W/30 is the best but the garage will only put in what the book says for warranty issues 5W/30 is what the book says,

amount of oil with filter is 6 ltrs,

no you don't need to change the plug wires,

reset the oil and service light you will find by doing a search

What do you "Search" to reset service warning?. Could you please advise how to reset, as I will be changing my oil as well as plugs. Also, what tool is used to remove the plug wires on a 2002 A6 3.0 V6?
Thanks
Jeff

you wouldn't have to look far. i believe, there is one on the bottom of this page or top of the next. with the same question.

but here is the answer;

Put in the key thenhold down the odometer reset andturn the key but dont start the your car.
Service or Oilwill pop up in the display, then push in the clock button. It should reset.
