1st of my annoying Newbie questions

[WorkInProgress]

Evening all,

Taking delivery of my first Audi this weekend, a low mileage '99 1.8T 5dr.

First on my to do list is a quick service.

• Are BKR6EIX plugs the correct ones for my car? Any other recommendations?
  
• Is 10W - 40 the correct oil?
  
• Would you recommend using a genuine VAG oil filter or would a UFI (from Opie Oils) be fine?
  
• Please don't mock me but I use Forte Engine Flush when doing an oil change, is this ok to use with a turbo lump?
  
• ​Any recommendations for a good battery?

Cheers, Rob

I've got a Varta Silver battery in my S3, never had a problem

 

[thegoal007]

get a battery suitable (fitment size/power) for the S3 at the best price (cheapest) that comes with at least 3+ year warranty.

Yoda: charging....battery is.
