What type of oil should I use for my 1994 Audi 80?

I recently purchased a 1994 Audi 80 and I'm not sure what type of oil would be best for it. I've heard a lot of conflicting opinions, so I wanted to know what is the recommended type of oil for this specific model and year.

The recommended oil for the 1994 Audi 80 is 5W-40, according to the user manual and various Audi forums. This type of oil offers better cold starting and engine protection, which is important for older vehicles like yours.

While 5W-40 may be the recommended oil, many owners have reported that using 5W-30 or even 10W-30 has worked just as well for their 1994 Audi 80. It ultimately depends on your driving habits and climate, so make sure to do some research and choose the best option for your specific needs.
