Grab yourself the OEM Engine Oil for peace of mind, and while you're at it you can also grab the OEM Cabin Air Filter. Good luck with your servicing & stay away from the stealership!

Cabin air filters are rather non critical. Purchase an inferior quality one and it is just an annoyance, nothing is going to fail. I got the Fram charcoal cabin air filter because it was the only one that my local auto supply store had in stock.
Changing the engine oil is a much bigger deal. The service manual method is to use a vacuum pump to suck oil out through that thing that looks like a dipstick - but isn't. There is a crankcase drain plug; but, it is hidden. There have been a number of posts from first time oil changers on this forum where people (including mechanics that are not Audi specialists) have drained the transmission (because the transmission drain plug is easy to find) rather than the engine and ended up with a transmission that does not work and an engine that is blowing clouds of smoke out the back because the engine has twice as much oil in it as it should. Get a copy of the service manual so you absolutely know what you are doing, otherwise you could be in for a world of hurt.
The brand of oil is less of an issue. What you need to do is make sure that the oil complies with the VAG spec number that applies to your particular engine. On the rad cover there should be a sticker with the weight recommendation and the VAG spec number which will probably be 504 or 508 - I can't remember. If the oil does not have the specific VAG compliance number on it don't buy. A label that says meets Volkswagen requirements is not good enough. Rather than running around to try and find the specific VAG compliant oil, do what flynreap says and just get the oil from the dealer.

Make sure the oil meets VW/Audi 504.00 standard. Not all oil with the same weight meet German car motor oil standard.
Look at the back of the bottle and you will see the list of standards the oil is intended for. Of course, you can temporary use whatever standard oil you grab in the case you need oils immediately. But for regular and long term use, grab the oil meet VW/Audi specified (standard) oils.

I guess it fits.
