In my MY 1999 A4 110 i used 5w 40 and did 30K with no issues....It would of carried on but the peugot that hit it out pay to that!!!

Check the oil is also got a VW505 number on the back that the important bit ;)

PS My A4 had 165K on it before the bump ;)

5w-40 is not too thin, it will be fine.

What brand etc was it?

Cheers
