Default Engines come with synthetic....

...but regular oil will mix in fine.

If you plan to continue with synthetic add that (Mobil 1 or similar). If you plan to take what Audi offers for free at oil changes (non synthetic in the US), just add a decent brand like Valvoline.<p>2001 A4 1.8TQMS

Default

Unless it is close to the low mark, I wouldn't add regular oil to the special break-in blend
