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 usua lly be used throughout the entire
yea r.
Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not

to follow recommended maintenance and use requirements as set fo rth in the Aud i Owner's
Manual and Warranty
& Maintenance booklet.
- Use only a high q ual ity eng ine oil that ex-
pressly complies with the Aud i oil q uality
standard specified for your vehi cle's engine .
Using any other oil can cause serious engine
damage .
- Do not mix any l ubricants o r other additives
into the engine oil. Doing so can cause en­
gine damage.
(D Tips
If you need to add oil and there is none availa ­
b le that meets the Audi oil quality standard
your eng ine requires, you may add a total of
no more than 0.5 qt (0.5 l) of a h igh-quality
"synthet ic" o il that meets the following speci­
fications .
- Vehicles with gasoline eng ine: ACEA A3 or
API SM with a viscosity grade of SAE OW-30,
SAE 5W -30 or SAE 5W-40 .
- Vehicles with d iesel eng ine : ACEA C3 or
API CF with a v iscosity grade of SAE OW-30

Engine oil consumption
The engin e in your v ehicl e dep ends on an ad e­
quat e amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of
its moving parts.
In order to provide effect ive lub rication and cool­
ing of inte rnal engine components, all inte rnal
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. Typ ically, engines w ith a specified
break -in period (see
c> page 86) consume more
o il 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 qua lity and viscos ity of
the oil, the RPM (revolutions per m inute) at
which the engine is operated, the amb ient tem­
perature and road condi tions. Further facto rs a re
the amo unt of oil di lution from water co ndensa­
tion or fue l resid ue a nd the oxidation level of the
oi l. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oi l consumption may increase ove r
time unt il replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With a ll these variab les coming into play, no
standard rate of oi l 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 y ellow engine oil leve l warning symbo l Bl
in the instrument cluster lights up, you should
check the o il level as soon as possible

venience
