Default General maintenance on 2.7t A6

Hey, im new here and new to audi in general.

I have a 2004 auto 2.7t A6 and i have'nt been able to find any info on maintenance so I have a few questions for the more expirienced.

Ive been using 0-30 mobil one oil but I think im supposed to be using 0w-40. Which one is it?

How often do you need to change this oil?

What type of plugs are suggested for this car and what is the gap.

what type of radiator fluid do you guys use, and if you could give me a brief flushing process if its different then general cars.

What type of trans fluid are you supposed to use.

What type of brake fluid?

How do you set the clock hahaha?

What is that winding sound when you start the car?

What is the stock compression on the car, and what method is used to check process etc?

Any special thigns I need to look out for or check (ive never owned a turbo car before)

Thanks to anyone and all who can help me out. Im not new to cars what so ever, I maintain 3 other cars and am very handy and have a wide range of tools but I just have never had this type of car before so I just dont want to do something wrong.

And if anyone could tell me where you generally get all the supplies from oil, fluids etc that would be great too.

thanks again

0W-40 if you live in a cold climate, but your profile does not say so.
Also click here for anything related to the A6 2.7t. Lots of great info there!
