10w40 and coolant is the g-12 but there is a new coolant out that u can mix with any coolant. also do not put synthetic in it if it is a new turbo bc it is recommended to use convential oil to seal all the new seals then usually drain the oil after 500 miles and then u can run synthetic

There is no reason to use conventional oil ever. That is a myth.
Audi's come from the factory with synthetic in them. New seals do not need to be "sealed" with anything.
