What is the recommended oil type for an Audi A4 engine?

I recently purchased a pre-owned Audi A4 and I'm wondering what type of oil I should use for optimal performance and longevity. Can anyone provide some guidance on the best oil for this engine?

For your Audi A4, it is recommended to use a high-quality synthetic or synthetic blend oil with an API rating of at least SN. Avoid using conventional oils as they may not provide the required level of protection for your engine.

Audi recommends using their own brand of oil, which is typically a full synthetic oil. However, you can also use other reputable synthetic oils such as Mobil 1 or Valvoline.

As long as the oil meets the required specifications and is changed at regular intervals, you can use any brand of oil that you prefer for your Audi A4 engine.
