What is the effect mixing 5-30 synthetic oil with 10-40 semisynthetic?
Mixing synthetic with semi-cynthetic or even conventional will cause no harm at all. Mixing weight will give you another weight based on the mix. If you mixed 2 quarts of 5w30 with 2 quarts of 10w40 you will theoretically have a weight of 7.5w35.

What oil do you use in an Audi A4 1.8 Quattro?
Well, the best oil is either Mobile 1 or Castrol FULL SYNTHETIC OIL... 5W-30 or if you have higher miles 10W-40... PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE SYNTHETIC, this is what VW/Audi uses from factory on all their engines... Contrary to what many people say... YOU CAN NOT use regular oil on a car that has had Synthetic oil... it is almost like mixing water into oil... due to the synthetic oil creates a barrier in you engine to help protect it longer... if you put regular oil in an engine running Synthetic, this will cause EXTREME Engine Sludge Buildup... causing the engine to not operate correclty and costly repairs to the engine...
