What is the recommended engine oil type for a 1994 Audi 80 with a 2.0L engine?

I recently purchased a 1994 Audi 80 with a 2.0L engine. I want to make sure I use the correct type of engine oil for optimal performance. Can someone advise me on what type of engine oil I should be using and why?

For your specific Audi 80, it is recommended to use synthetic 5W-40 engine oil. This type of oil provides better protection against wear and tear and also helps optimize fuel efficiency. I have been using it in my own Audi 80 for years and have had no issues.

As a mechanic who has worked on many Audi 80s, I always recommend using the manufacturer-recommended type of oil to ensure the best performance and longevity of your engine. In this case, it would be suitable to use a high-quality synthetic 5W-40 oil.
