Engine oil
Engine oil specifications
The engine oil used must conform to exact speci-
fications.
The service interval display in the instrument
cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is
time for an oil change. We recommend that you
have your oil changed by an authorized Aud i Serv-
ice Advisor.
If you have to top off the oil between oil changes,
use the Audi oil quality standard specified in the
table .
Audi oil quality standard
Gasoline
VW 502 00 or
engine vw 50400
Using the proper engine oil is important for the
functionality and service life of the eng ine . Your
engine was factory-filled with a high-quality oil
which can usually be used throughout the entire
year.
(D Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage or malfunctions due to failure
to follow recommended maintenance and use
requirements as set forth in the Aud i Owner's
Manual and Warranty
& Maintenance booklet.
- Use only a high quality eng ine oil that ex-
pressly complies with the Audi oil quality
standard specified for your vehicle's engine .
Using any other oil can cause serious engine
damage.
- Do not mix any lubricants or other additives
into the engine oil. Doing so can cause en-
gine damage.
If you need to add oil and there is none availa-
ble that meets the Audi oil quality standard
your eng ine requires, you may add a total of
no more than 0.5 qt/l of a high-quality "syn-
thetic"oil that meets the follow ing spec ifica-
tions.
Checking and Filling
- ACEA A3 or AP! SM with a viscosity grade of
SAE OW-30, SAE SW-30 or SAE SW-40.

Engine oil consumption
The engine in your vehicle depends on an ade-
quate amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of
its moving parts .
In order to provide effective lubrication and cool-
ing of internal engine components, all internal
combustion engines consume a certain amount
of oil. Oil consumption varies from eng ine to en-
gine and may change significantly over the life of
the engine. Typically, engines w ith a specified
brea k-in period (see~
page 59) consume more
oil dur ing the break-in per iod than they consume
after oil consumption has stabilized.
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con-
sumption depends on the quality and viscos ity of
the oil, the RPM (revolutions per minute) at
which the engine is operated, the ambient tem-
perature and road conditions . Further factors are
the amount of oil di lution from water condensa-
tion or fuel residue and the oxidation level of the
oil. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oil consumption may increase over
time until replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With all these variables coming into play, no
standard rate of oil consumption can be estab-
lished or spec ified. There is no alternative to reg-
ular and frequent checking of the oi l level, see
Note .
If the yellow engine oil level warning symbo l Ill
in the instrument cluster lights up, you should
check the oil level as soon as possible
