Probably because it is over heating
run the fault codes to check for transmission problems
check oil level in the a/t
check coolant level in the radiator

What does it mean when my oil temp gage reads high but coolant temp reads in middle on Audi a4 Quattro 2.8 v6

It means the oil is hotter than the coolant or you have a bad gauge or sender. Oil temp and coolant temp are very loosely related to each other. Coolant temp should remain within 10 degrees of thermostat temperature once warmed up. I think that has a 196 degree thermostat so the coolant should be no lower than 196 and no higher than 206, tho up to 220 is relatively normal if it's hot out and/or you're running it hard. Oil temp is loosely regulated if at all, as long as it's not above 250 sustained or 300 in short bursts you're fine. Much above that and there's a problem, but it would most likely be a bad reading. It's hard to over heat the oil unless you're on a race track.

Trying to find out how much oil the Triton V-10 takes when I do my oil change? I cant seem to find it or anyone who knows

It should be listed in the owners manual, but because of different oil cooler setups you may have to do the change yourself and add oil until the correct level is established..... for the first oil change.
Most likely 7 liters,but start with 5,run the engine to fill the oil filter,let it sit for 5 mins and recheck and fill to full.
Note the amount needed for next time.
