Default 0/30 5/30 5/40 depending on what brand of oil they use.
That is if they are using an "Audi approved" oil.

I was under the assumption they use Mobil 1 but is that not always true?

My dealer uses Castrol 5w-30 (not Audi approved) so I bring M1 0w-40

Mine uses Mobil 1, but I don't believe it is universal for AoA

Audi dealer not using Audi approved oil? That sounds strange.
