COMMENTS
This is also the post-period decimal digit of ((n+2)^2-2)/5.
Serves also as the decimal expansion of 1495600/33333 and as the continued fraction representation of (33397+sqrt(12952802))/1649.
FORMULA
a(n) = (2*n^2 + 8*n + 4) mod 10.
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 06 2014: (Start)
G.f.: 2*(2 + 2*x + 4*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 4*x^4)/(1-x^5). [corrected by Georg Fischer, May 11 2019]
Recurrence: a(n) = a(n-5).
a(n) = (2*A008865(n+1)) mod 10.
a(n) = (-A147973(n+4)) mod 10.
a(n+1) = 2*A053796(n) + 4. (End)
