I have a 2010 S4. Lately I have been running Liqui Moly 5W40. It's a full synthetic german oil, meets the 50200 spec, is cheaper than the audi spec alternatives - and free shipping off amazon!

VW Turbos need (at least according the VW) pretty specific and expensive oil. Generally that alone is going to be $40 like this. Filter is another $10. So baseline, the parts alone cost $50. Then it's just a matter of being able to do it. I mean, yeah, you can probably go to Jiffy Lube and get a cheaper oil change, but I'd rather pay more for oil and not worry about the turbo eating its self, especially on a 9 year old car.

First off get a 27mm socket for the oil filter cap. I thought I had one that could fit before I started mine but didn't. The oil is kinda hard to find since it needs 5w-40, I ordered some on amazon: Liqui Moly 2041 Premium 5W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil - 5 Liter Jug https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005H2SHS8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XlS3xbZ5QE743. The rest isn't too hard, you need to remove the engine cover to give you more working room. To remove the engine cover remove the 2 bolts in top and their is a spot near the rear that just requires a good pull to pop the cover off. I didn't even jack up my Jeep to drain the oil, I think the oil plug was a 13mm, I don't recall but its nothing fancy. The oil filter cap is rather inconvenient to get to but if you have a long socket extension it helps.
