How often should the oil be changed on an Audi A3?

I just bought a used Audi A3 and want to make sure I'm properly maintaining it. How often should I change the oil and what type of oil should I use?

It is recommended to change the oil on your Audi A3 every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

You should always use synthetic oil in your Audi A3. It provides better engine protection and performance.

If you tend to do a lot of city driving or drive in extreme temperatures, you may need to change your oil more frequently.
