HELP!! engine oil problem

[andyisgood]

when i was driving home tonight at 815 i had my engine oil low light came on.... and because all the dealerships are closed... i had to go to the gas station and got some Pennzoil SAE 5W30 oil to top it... i want to know if that is ok... coz i know that audi uses castrol and i dont know if that's sythetic or no...
and i am planning to go to my AoR tmr morning see if they can have an oil changed for me... do u guys thing they will do this for free?? i am covered with the audi care.. or should i get some castrol and change it on my own? TIA

does anybody know if the dealership charges you for any non-scheduled oil change??
if u are covered with audi care

probably they will for the oil.
Well... I went in for a non-scheduled checkup @ OpenRoadAudi,
they hoisted it, test drove it, washed it, vacuumed it... light detailed it...
washed my floor matts... wiped all of my interior...
charged me with big $0.00

I'm not sure about the oil change though...imma get a bottle in my car just in case...

[andyisgood]

ya u should... i had my first engine oil light on with around 6000 km on my 08 b7

I've had my low oil light come on just for cornering to fast, long road trips will set the light if the oil becomes to warm, I was using castrol for the longest time, I now use a european oil called ELF, It's all what you prefer, Elf seems to hold up against the heat a little better than the castrol did, I have been using elf now for about a yr and have not seen the low oil light since. Premium oil conditioners work well against the heat and the frigid cold, helps your engine against the dreaded molecular viscosity issues!!!

if you have audi care, can you bring ur own oil for the scheduled maintances ?
