Hate to ask..98 a4 2.8Q oil change
My first audi, 98 teptronic 133k 2.8q.
If anyone rides a Harley, you understand the dreaded oil posts!!
Going to do my first oil change, and wondering if mobile1 is okay?
Also I live in CT out of NYC, near the ocean. I was going to use 5w30, any suggestions as to weight and viscosity?
I drive this car like I am on the autobahn, FYI
Oil filter okay to buy at autozone?
Feel free to share any URL that has info for A4 B5 oil change guides as well.
Thanks everyone, and enjoy the nice weather!!

Mobil1 0w-40 is on the current Audi approval list. 5w-30 is too thin. Mobil1 5w-40 was on the list until Mobil turned it into Diesel oil due to it not meeting the new SM API spec which uses less ZDDP than SL. However, I did some research and found that Mobil1 5w-40 Turbo Diesel Truck oil is the same 5w-40 car oil from 4 years ago and is what I still use.
