97 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8L Motor Oil
I have a 97 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8L with 134K. When I bought the car, it had synthetic motor oil but didn't know what viscosity. I also have a minor leak from left engine gasket. I live in Cali so the temperature ranges from 0 to 30 degress Celcius. What motor oil with what viscosity should I use? Synthetic or High mileage regulator oil?

Any 5w-40 would be great, this weight is synthetic. You can pick up any brand at your local auto
store. If the leak is from a valve cover gasket it is real easy to fix yourself.
