I have an audi A3, 2.0L. TDI,Diesel, garage say must top up oil every 1000 miles, just checked and it is quit low. Must I use Audi recommended or is there a cheaper type that is just as good ? Thanks in advance
 
For a diesel engine any oil meeting the requirements of VW spec 507.00 is OK. This includes Castrol Edge 5W-30 and Shell Helix Ultra VX 5W-30.

It usually says on the container if it meets the VW507.00 spec.
