10w 30 or 5w 30 are the most common and i almost bet one of those are used in your car, it does not matter what one you use people use different ones during winter/ summer or on older car they use a thicker oil. But i use 10w 30 on almost any car, use
A8’s 372-horsepower, 4.2-liter V-8 and its 328 pound-feet of torque. Leaving the handsomely designed gear select in Drive allowed the eight-speed Tiptronic transmission to run through the gears at its sole discretion. But with a flick of the steering wheel-mounted paddles (downshift with the left paddle; upshift with the right, just as God intended), I snapped down to third gear to decelerate as I approached the roundabout, the transmission responding instantly with the discipline of a well-trained Doberman, the standard Quattro all-wheel drive easily finding traction despite the rain-slicked tarmac. I merged with traffic, exited the roundabout and accelerated southwest toward Cadiz with the Mediterranean off to my left, popping into view as rain clouds scuttled toward Morocco.
Life in the south of Spain is sweet, and with the 2011 Audi A8 as a guide, it gets sweeter still. The launch of a new Audi flagship is an event to be anticipated. Since 1994, a new generation has been introduced every eight years; even the Vulcan mating ritual of pon farr occurs more frequently. So when Audi invited us to review its latest offering, we accepted without hesitation. We had questions: Would Audi’s penchant for technology come at the expense of an involving driver experience? Would the bar be raised when it came to Audi’s reputation for the best interiors in the business? And is a high-performance, gas-chugging luxury sedan an anachronism in today’s penny-pinching, eco-concious climate?
The foundation of all A8 models has been the Audi Space Frame (ASF). Constructed of high-strength aluminum alloys, the structure is strong yet light. The torsional rigidity of the new ASF is 25 percent greater than its predecessor. A rigid structure provides a sturdy platform for the suspension, minimizing twist and flex during spirited driving. It also dampens noise, vibration and harshness, enabling a quieter, more relaxing interior. Another benefit is greater impact absorption during crash events, and not only that, but the ASF is 40 percent lighter than an equivalent steel body, contributing to improved fuel efficiency by reducing mass.
