STFA (Search The Forum Archives)...All your questions are WELL documented.

Mobil 1 Euro is fine...5w40.

As for spark plugs, go with OEM, either NGK or Bosch - just order from genuineaudiparts.com and you should be set. You will also need a new crusher for the oil plug.

Any oil meeting VAG 502.00 works. The most common oil in the USA will be the Mobil (not Mobile) 1 0W40 product easily found in quarts or 5qt jugs at Walmart. Spark plugs are NGK.
