Selective catalytic
reduction (AdBlue/DEF)
General information
Applies to: vehicles with selec tive catalytic reduction
In vehicles with selective catalytic reduction, a
urea solution (AdBlue/DEF) is injected into the
exhaust system in front of a nitrogen oxide cata­
lytic converter to reduce nitrogen emissions. The
urea solution is known as Ad Blue or DEF (Diesel
Exhaust Fluid). The information that follows w ill
use the name AdBlue.
The Ad Blue is carried in a separate tank in the ve­
hicle. The AdBlue usage accounts for approxi­
mately 1.0% to 4 .0% of the diesel fuel that is
used .
When a message about refilling the AdBlue ap­
pears in the instrument cluster display, you must
refill the AdBlue yourself or have it refilled by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service

(D Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine.
@ Tips
-The oil pressure warning display. is not
an indicator of the oil level. Do not rely on
it. Instead, check the oil level in your en­
gine at regular intervals, preferably each
time you refuel, and always before going
on a long trip.
-If you have the impression your engine con­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you consult an authorized Audi
dealer to have the cause of your concern
properly diagnosed. Keep in mind that the
accurate measurement of oil consumption
requires great care and may take some
time. An authorized Audi dealer has instruc­
tions about how to measure oil consump­
tion accurately.
Checking the engine oil level and adding
engine oil
The engine oil level can be checked in the Info ­
tainment system

flow back into the oil pan .
Checking and Filling
- Select in the Infotainment system: the !MENUI
button > Vehicle > left control button > Service
& checks > Oil level.
-Check the oil level in the Infotainment system
display. Add engine oil if the bar in the oil level
indicator is just before "min".
Adding engine oil Follow the safety precautions
~&. in Working in
the engine compartment on page 323.
- Stop the engine and open the hood
~page 324 .
-Unscrew the cap~ on the engine oil filling
opening
~ fig. 269, Qpage 325.
- Carefully add O .S quart (O .S liter) of the correct
oil
~ page 325.
- Close the engine oil filler opening cap.
- Close the hood, restart the ignition after two
minutes and read the current oil level in the In ­
fotainment system.
A WARNING ...__ --When adding oil, do not let oil drip onto hot
engine components. This increases the risk
of afire.
-You must secure the cap on the oil filler
opening correctly so that oil does not leak
out onto the hot engine and exhaust system
when the engine is running, because this is
a fire hazard.
-Always clean skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oil.
0 Note
- The engine oil level must not be under the
"min" marking, because this increases the
risk of engine damage.
- If the message II Please reduce oil level
appears, there is too much oil in the engine
and there is a risk of damaging the catalytic
converter and engine. Do not start the en­
gine. Contact an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility to have ex­
cess engine oil extracted if necessary.
- Do not mix any additional lubricants into
the engine oil. Damage caused by such addi-
tives is not covered by the warranty.

Check ing and F illing
@ For the sake of the environment
- Oil should never enter the sewer system or
come into contact with the gro und.
- Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of empty oil containers .
@ Tips
- The oil leve l indicator in the d isplay is only
an informationa l disp lay .
If the oil leve l is
too low, a minimum oil warning appea rs in
the instrument cluster. Add oil and close
the hood . The current oil level is displayed
i n the instrument cluster the next t ime the
i gnition is switched on .
- The engine oil consumption may be up to
0 .5 quart/600 miles (0 .5 liter/1,000 km),
depend ing on driving style a nd operating
cond itions . Consumption may be higher
d ur in g the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Be­
cause of t his, the engi ne oil level m ust be
