regular to synthetic?
 

ok i just got my 1997 a4 2.8 and i was wondering if it is safe to switch from regular to synthetic, what kind do u guys use

RE: regular to synthetic?
 

I have the same engine and year. I use Mobile1 0W-30. And yes it is safe to make the switch.

RE: regular to synthetic?
 

Make the change. The oil should meet ACEA A3 or A5.
