I’d like to stock up on some oil for my Audi. What is the best choice for a 2016 Audi A3 oil type?

Great question! The 2016
Audi
A3 oil type is 5W-40, a full synthetic oil for European vehicles.
The most important criterion is viscosity. 5W-40 is what’s recommended by the manufacturers, but you may need to adjust this based on your driving habits and the climate where you drive.
So long as you select an oil that is intended for European vehicles—like oil from Valvoline or Mobil 1—with the proper viscosity rating, your car will run smoothly.
After you stock up on oil, why not take a minute to update your
car insurance
coverage? Most people are overpaying for coverage they could get cheaper somewhere else. You can use the

app to make sure you’re still getting the lowest possible rate to
cover
your Audi.
Good luck!
