Hello Dale from the Homeland,

You must depend upon what is specified in the owners handbook in terms of grade. 
In terms of brand, then no doubt you will get a selection of recommendations. 
I have always stuck with Quantum Longlife 3 for our 2006 A3 petrol, which now has 165K miles behind it, so I see absolutely no reason to try anything else. 
You mention Castrol and sponsorship? - as I understand it, Quantum is a manufactured by Castrol, but you would need to confirm that, if it is important to you. 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 
p.s. Sometimes available relatively cheaply at some Audi dealers, or try eBay, Amazon etc.
