According to Audi's official recommendations, the ideal engine oil for your 1992 Audi 80 2.3 E FWD would be a fully synthetic 0W-40 oil. This should provide the best performance and protection for your engine.

I've been using Castrol EDGE 0W-40 in my 1992 Audi 80 2.3 E FWD for years now and have had no issues. It's a bit pricier than some other brands, but I feel it's worth it for the peace of mind that comes with using a trusted brand and top-performing oil.

From personal experience, I've found that a semi-synthetic 5W-30 oil works well for the 2.3 E engine in your Audi 80. It offers good performance and protection at a more affordable price point.
