Default What kind of oil to get

I am not mechanically inclined in the least, and my audi needs some oil. I won't be taking it in for an oil change for a while longer, but it leaks oil so I need to put some in. What is the best oil for this vehicle?

98 A4, with an 02 A4 2.8 engine put in. 80K miles on the engine. The vehicle also is equipped with a supercharger. I am in the desert and am dealing with 110+ degrees regularly (if this impacts anything)

Thanks for your help!

I'd use a full synthetic 5W-40.

Not possible. No 2.8 in 202...perhaps it's an 01?
