I wouldn’t take the risk of running any car without the owner’s manual.

I use Castrol Edge Helix Ultra. I wouldn't risk anything else.

I use oil of ulay but you may know it as oil of olay, make sure to top up every night. I find having some on the bedside cabinet helps

Don't trust the dipstick - they're notoriously unreliable. Fill it until the oil comes all the way to the top of the filler. It's the only way to be 100% sure the engine is full.

It seems like you're referring to "Cabernet oil," but the term "caberet oil" is not widely recognized in standard references or known product categories. However, based on context, you might be thinking of "Cabernet oil," which is related to grape seed oil derived from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, a popular type of wine grape.

My A3 cabriolet doesn't need any oil. I've removed it all as it just adds unnecessary weight.

I put vegetable oil in my A3, better for the environment.
How about not having a sig at all?

Especially if it's an automatic.

Oi! Oil of ukay! It should protect your engine because it protects our borders! Take back Castrol!

Unfortunately, this isn't an Audi A3 Cabriolet forum.

Maybe Matty runs a forum for A3 Cab's, and has accidentally referred you here?

This forum is for ihsibustim ov9 owners.
