Default Need DIY help!

I have a 2001 S4 Tip. And I have decided to do my own oil changes, but I need some pointers. What oil should I use brand and density, what filter and where can I purchase them. and pointers on where to find the drainer plug. how much oil to put in it etc.
Basically everything needed to change the oil on a S4 I need to know.

Thanks all

0-40, 5-40 or there about, look in your owners manual. I like Amsoil Euro 5-40.
German Castrol is great but really hard to find.

Get an OEM filter, or a Bosh one.

Changing the oil is straight forward, don't over torque the drain plug, get a new
crush washer.

The belly pan can be a challenge the first time. Some of the 1/4t screws come out, and
some don't. Buts it's not hard, just awkward.
