Audi A4 Diesel TDi (red i) 2004 - what engine oil

[deise]

Have car 2 months, enjoying it .

Manual gives the VW refrence oil spec but this is not the same as what the labels in garage reference . What type/grade of engine oil should I be using.

I'd usually stick with the manual. You can look up recommended oil type here based on the car: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/product-finder/car/engine-oil/product-finder-2.aspx

Is the car on standard or longlife servicing?

I use a Valvoline oil which meets the longlife specs.

If it's on standard interval servicing then I'd use a good quality synthetic oil - Magnatec or similar - at least.
