Default Oil drain off

Morning folks.
i drive a 3.2fsi Audi A4B8. This morning i started the car and decided to check oil level and it read, "drain off oil". So what spec oil do i need for this car? and how much litters of oil i need? Also besides the oil what do i need to buy?

All of that info should be in the Owners manual in the Oils and Fluid specs pages. Audi calls for some weird oils in some of their cars though. Stuff that isn't usually readily available like 0w-30.... I use 5w-30 and 10w-30 in my A8 with no issues. i think the 3.2s call for 5w-30 though. The 3.2s probably use about 6-7 liters of oil. Always change the oil filter when changing the oil also. The cartridge units have a tendency to collapse if left in too long. It doesn't restrict oil flow, it just stops filtering..
