Oil change
what kind of oil is used in a 99 A4 1.8t ??
and if u needed it to get done immeadiately, which place would u trust to do it?
im weary of canadian tire... dealers are booked... and are $80, BBR is that expensive too.
i found the tech article on reseting the service light,.. it really that easy?

I get mine for $52 out the door w/ mobil 1 10W30 synthetic and a factory filter at a local mobil pit
service light is every 8,100 miles or so but I change my oil every 3,500 so randomly the service light appears. very easy to turn off following the tech article, took a whole 30 seconds one night while I was out closing the sunroof.
don't go to jiffy lube I've heard horror stories, def. not pep boys they just suck.
be careful w/ the belly pan, inquire before with the shop whether or not they have removed and put back an A4 belly pan b/c some don't know what they are doing w/ it and may not even put it back on.
I paid $84 for the first oil change I got on my car, that was at the dealership- never again!
