Changing the engine oil
We recommend that have your oil changed by an autho-
rize d Audi dealer or a qualified service station.
Before you check anyt hi ng in t he engine compartment, alway s read
and heed all WARNINGS =>
& in "Working in the engine compart -
ment" on
page 250.
The engine oil must be changed according to the intervals specified
in you r War ranty
& Main t enance booklet . This is very important
because the lubricating properties of oil diminish gradually during
normal vehicle use.
Under some circumstances the engine oil shou ld be changed more
frequently . Change oil more often if you drive mostly short
distances, opera t e the ve hicle in dusty areas or under predom i-
nant ly stop -and -go traffic conditions, or have your vehicle where
t emperatures remai n below freezing fo r extended periods .
Detergent add it ives in the oil wi ll make fresh oil look dark after the
engine has been running for a short time . This is norma l and is not
a reason to change the oi l more of ten than recommended.
Because of the problem of proper disposal, along with the special
t ools and necessa ry expert ise required, we strong ly recommend
that you have your oil changed by an authorized
Audi dealer or a
qual ified service stat ion .
If you choose to change your oil yourself , please note the fo llow ing
important information :
