I used 0W-30, I've read some people use 5W-30. I just buy the below kit from ECS (would rather buy from FCP if they had the 8Y RS3 in their system). Make sure you have one of those oil filter housing drain tools, you can get them on amazon, but there's a non-trivial amount of oil in that filter even after draining the pan, and it'll make a mess if you don't drain the filter via the nipple... Thanks a lot Audi.
