What is the Audi Q5’s oil type?

I just got a great price on an Audi Q5. Unfortunately, I heard that some places charge an exorbitant amount for an oil change. As such, I’m thinking about doing the work myself—what type of oil does the Audi Q5 need?

Congrats on your new car! If you want to get the best performance out of your vehicle, the
Audi Q5
oil type recommended by Audi is 5W-40. The thicker viscosity of the oil at regular temperatures means that you can get better acceleration and longevity out of your Audi.
A 5W-40 synthetic blend also tends to perform well at higher temperatures. This means that you can get even better performance when you’re putting your Q5 to the test, whether on the pavement or off-road.
