I dont know if I should use fully synthetic oil or not

Hi
It depends on which version of the 1.9 TDI engine you have. if it's the 115/130 BHP PD engine then it must conform to the makers spec (fully synthetic) as the engine will not tolerate a lesser oil, the specification info can be found in your owners handbook. If it's the 110 bhp engine then a good high spec mineral oil for Turbo diesels will do. Please note as with many things in this world you get what you pay for and your engine should last a lot longer on synthetic oil. After all why ruin a good car for the want of a few quid spent on e decent oil

You need to find an oil that meets VW/AUDI 505.01 standards. Look for pentosyn oil part number mo5w40ts.

Best advice i would give you is ask your local Audi dealer but i would say you should use the best you can and put an engine oil flush through first so it is completely clean all through

it depends where you live, if it gets real cold go with 5w/30 but if you are in a hot area you might want straight 30. then if you leak oil you might want straight 50 wieght.
