Default oil change

Hi! My Audi A6 2.7T has 119000 mi and I bought it only one month before. I want to change the oil but I don't know what type of oil "synthetic or regular
' had been used. Does it matters? And my second question is, what kind of oil should I use for this milage? What brand and what nr? Thanks I know you will be helpful.

Fully synthetic 5W-40

other than that you will get as many opinions as there are different brands of oil. Everyone has there own preferences and swears by whatever they use. Just don't go cheap.

Most recommend Mann or Mahle oil filters. Again, you get what you pay for.

Its not good to keep putting it off just change as soon as possible and try to do on a more regular basis as oil changes are very important.

I have also Audi and I also face this problem. But I just gave my car for service in Audi showroom and all the services and oil changing done by them and I got good average in my Audi. So you just try it once.

Use fully synthetic oil it will enhances engine performance and power, ensures engine is protected from wear and deposit build-up and ensures good cold starting and quick circulation in freezing temperatures.

Oil changes are about the most important maintenance thing you can do for your car. If you don't have money for an oil change (which is cheap compared to major repair)how will you pay for say a new engine???? Get the oil change!
