I just bought an Audi A4 (B8) 2011 2.0 TFSI RHD and it have only 45000 KM.
I live where the average temperature is 32 Celsius, sometimes it can get up to 36 Celsius and lowest up to 25 Celsius in the night. The weather is like that all year.
What is the best Oil to use?
 

Hello Walter,

Many thanks for joining and posting your question. 
Have you looked in your owners handbook? It usually says there, and may well specify what alternative grades should be used in high and low temperature environments. 
I think the normal grade would be 5w/30, and if so, at your temperatures, 5w/40 may ( in capitals) be an alternative, but please don’t take my suggestion as correct in this case.

If this were mine:- 

I would be searching for your nearest Castrol technical help contact and enquiring there, or of course any of the other major automotive oil producers. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

p.s. Send a bit of your weather over here to help with our heating bills!
