Does anyone know which oil I need for my Q3 35 TFSI Mild Hybrid S tronic (MY 2020)?

Typed in my reg number on Halfords website but my car apparently doesn’t exist. Google searches not revealing anything either.

Interesting. I just searched on my work website and couldn’t get anything either. Many oil suppliers use a system supplied by a company called OATS which helps to match brands and competitors etc. If they’re not up to date, that may be the reason why I can’t find a recommendation. If you can’t get anything found by Tuesday, I can ask our tech guys.

The vehicle manual usually has this information

It doesn’t.

Would 5W30 be a safe bet?

If in doubt 5/30 fully synthetic VW 507, and is going to be very very close to spec.

There must be a story here. 2020 car and you personally are changing oil, warranty for the future ? By your “handle” you must be in the trade ?

Is this the same engine?

No knowledge about Audi, but does it have the handbook on the car's hard drive?

Could just be after a one litre pack for top ups.

I’m not in the trade. I got a “please check oil level” warning light. The dip stick showed the oil had almost ran out. I ended up buying Jet 5W-30 3C / VW 504 00/507 00. Used up 0.70ltrs of the 1 litre bottle.
