Hello! I would use the Total Oil, its the cheapest and is still awesome quality. I just actually finished the B6 A4 maintenance kits on the site. It makes ordering maintenance parts very easy.

i would say oil viscosity is based on temps that your car deals with. If u live up in the mountains then yes if u live where its hot all the time get a 5-30

i use mobil 1 0W-40. i don't use seaform-never have, never will. there are enough detergents in the oil and gas (www.toptiergas.com) to keep things normal. use OEM sparkplugs. check with the dealer.
