A mineral 15W-40 or 15W-50 should be spot-on Micky.

15-40 blue quantum from GSF or your friendly Audi dealer (sometimes cheaper than GSF, depending on how their sales figures are....)

Change every 5000 miles or 12 months, whichever is sooner.

I used to to put 10/40 in mine, but it didn't seemed too happy running it...used to tap slightly. Been spot on since I put 20/50 in though! That's what it recommends in the Haynes manual as well. Flush the engine with 'Wurth' engine flush every time I do a service, seems fine between intervals!
