Can I use a different type of engine oil for my Audi A3?

I recently purchased an Audi A3 and am wondering if I can use a different brand or type of engine oil. Are there specific requirements or recommendations for the engine oil in this car?

Using a different quality or brand of engine oil should not be an issue as long as it meets the manufacturer's specifications for your Audi A3. However, it is always best to stick with the recommended oil type and brand for optimal performance and longevity of your car's engine.
