What is the best choice for a 2012 Audi A7 oil type?

I’ve read some conflicting things online. I really want to get the best oil for my car. What is the best choice for a 2012 Audi A7 oil type?

Good question! The best choice for a 2012
Audi
 A7 oil type is a 5W-40 fully synthetic oil like Valvoline or AMSOIL.
The most important thing is that you follow the recommended viscosity for your Audi. 5W-40 is used primarily in European vehicles with gas-powered engines.
Bear in mind that you may need to adjust the 5W-40 rating for your specific climate, season, and the driving conditions in your area.
You will need approximately seven quarts to fill the entire reservoir.
After you’ve sorted out the oil for your A7, now may be a good time to continue your responsible ownership streak. Your
car insurance
 coverage may be out of date, or worse, exorbitantly priced. You can use

Good luck!
