The handbook does not specify any specific viscosity, ie 5W-30. It merely mentions specs such as VW504 00 etc (see attached photo) In short , I have now ignored Audi and the Castrol website and used Castrol Edge Long Life 5W-30 fully synthetic oil and will change the oil myself every 12 months....

It was Castrols own website that previously stated 5W-30, but has now changed. Audi has previously serviced my vehcile but records /receipts etc make no mention of the oil viscoisity. I have now contacted Audi who state my oil should be 0W-20. But they didn't seem to know anything about the 'change'....

The stickers only relate to the type of air conditioning gas. There is no sticker specific to the engine oil unfortunately. Thanks anyway.

Has the spec for engine oil changed? Current checks with Castrols' website ('what oil for my car') show that my Q2 (2018, 1.4TFSI engine code CZEA) should use Castrol Edge 0W-20 LL IV for 24 months service interval, yet previously it was Castrol Edge Professional long life 5W-30 for 24months service interval....
