That oil is totally fine.I would be worried about what make oil filter you have bought.Mann or Bosch are ok.

That sounds needlessly extravagant for a non-turbo relatively unstressed engine. If that's the 5v from the Audi A6, common or garden 5-30 at £18ish for 5l is what I used every 10 - 12,000m for mine, from 79,000 to 137,000. It used very little between changes even beyond 100K and ran as well when I sold it as when I bought it.
