Whatever the manual says.
In fact, I just went to the car to get my manual (2001 Audi S4/S4 Avant).
It says:
"The engine oil which was first put into your engine has a viscosity grade of SAE 0W-30. You can use this oil over all temperature ranges for normal driving. If engine oil viscosity grade SAE 0W-30 is not available, you can also use SAE 5W-30 or SAE 5W-40.
See your authorized Audi Dealer for more information regarding oil for your vehicle."
FWIW, I carry a quart of 0W-30 in the car JIC I need to put oil in the engine and I can't buy the right grade. I bought it when the car was new. It's now two years old. I haven't needed to use it yet.
