Default Oil change new to audi question... Help!

Hey,
So its that time where I have to take my car for an oil change, any recommendations to where I should do it in scarborough? what is the suggested synthetic oil brand?
I know the dealership is very expensive or is it worth it on my 04 a4 1.8tq?
Thx!

If you are somewhat handy you may want to attempt this yourself. Its really not difficult. On the other hand any lube place will do as long as they use synthetic oil such as Mobil 1, 0W-40

Not saying they are all bad, but I took mine to Oil Changers and they did not have the proper tool. They ended up cracking the oil filter housing which cost me about $100 to have replaced. Only found this out at my Audi Care service months later so couldn't go back to oil Changers for compensation.

This has led me to only go somewhere familiar with Audi, even for just an oil change.
