oil temperature AUDI S3 2010 Owners Manual

Instruments and warning/indicator lights
Engine cold
As long as the needle remains at the left end of the gauge, the
engine still has not reached its operating temperature . Avoid high
engine speeds, heavy engine loads and heavy throttle.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating temperature, the needle
will move into the middle of the gauge and remain there. If the engine is working hard at high outside temperatures, the needle
may turn further to the right. This is no cause for concern as long as
the
_ f_ warning light in the instrument cluster does not illuminate.
When the
-L warning light starts to flash, this can mean one of two
things: either the coolant
temperature is too high, or the coolant
level is too low=> page 30.
& WARNING
• Always observe the warning in=> page 215, "Engine compart ­
ment" before opening the engine hood and checking the engine
coolant level.
• Never open the engine hood if you see or hear steam, or if you
see engine coolant dripping from the engine compartment. You
could burn yourself. Let the engine cool off first so that you cannot
hear or see any steam or engine coolant.
0 Note
• Mounting additional lights or accessories in front of the air inlets
reduces the cooling effect of the radiator . At high outside tempera ­
tures or high engine load, the engine could overheat.
• The front spoiler has been designed to properly distribute the
cooling air when the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged,
this could reduce the cooling effect and the engine could then over ­
heat. Ask your authorized Audi dealer for assistance. •
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge works only when the ignition is on.
When the needle reaches the red area, the warning light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate=>
page 32 I). This means you
have approximately 1.8 gallons (7 liters) of fuel left in the tank.
Time
to refuel!
The total tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in=> page 296,
"Data".
0 Note
Never run the tank completely dry! An irregular supply of fuel can
cause engine misfiring and fuel could enter into the exhaust
system. The catalytic converter could then overheat and be
damaged .•
Speedometer with odometer
The speedometer shows you the vehicle speed, and the
odometer shows you how many miles (kilometers) you
have driven.

& WARNING
Always adapt your speed to the current weather, road and traffic
conditions. You should never disobey traffic laws in order to follow
driving recommendation s. •
Checking the engine oil level ~
· Ple ase add max. 1 qt of engine oil!

The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically important for the life
of the catalytic converter and proper functioning of the engine.
& WARNING
• Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot
exhaust system may come in contact with dry grass, brush, fuel
spill or other material which can cause a fire.
• Do not apply additional undercoating or rustproofing on or
near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or
heat shields . During driving, the substance used for undercoating
could overheat and cause a fire.
0 Note
• Be aware that just one tank filling with leaded fuel will already
seriously degrade the performance of the catalytic converter.
• Do not exceed the correct engine oil level~
page 230.
• Do not drive until the fuel tank becomes completely empty. The
engine could misfire. Unburned fuel could also get into the exhaust
system and this could cause the catalytic converter to overheat.
• Do not turn off the ignition while the vehicle is moving.
• Do not continue to operate your vehicle under these conditions,
as otherwise fuel can reach the catalytic converter. This could result
in overheating of the converter, requiring its replacement.
• To assure efficient operation of the Emission Control System :
- Have your vehicle maintained properly and in accordance with
the service recommendations in your Warranty
& Maintenance
booklet.
- Lack of proper maintenance as well as improper use of the
vehicle will impair the function of the emission control system
and could lead to damage.
Controls and equip­ ment Safety first Vehicle operation
Driving and environment
<£' For the sake of the environment
Even
when the Emission Control System is operating properly, the
exhaust gas can have a sulfur -like exhaust gas smell under some
operating states . This depends on the sulfur content of the fuel
being used . Using a different brand of fuel may help, or filling the
tank with lead-free super grade gasoline. •
Applies to veh ic les : with diesel particulate filter
Diesel particu ate filter
The diesel particulate filter filters nearly all of the soot particles out
of the exhaust. The filter cleans itself automatically under normal
driving conditions. If the filter cannot clean itself (for example,
because you are only driving short distances), the filter becomes
clogged with soot and the symbol for the diesel particulate filter
illuminates ~
page 32.
& WARNING
• Do not park your vehicle over flammable materials such as
grass or leaves because the high temperature of the diesel partic­
ulate filter could start a fire.
• Do not apply an underbody protectant in the exhaust system
area or a fire could start.
[ i] Tips
• When the diesel particulate filter becomes saturated, the engine
speed increases to approximately 1,500 rpm while the vehicle is in
motion to initiate the cleaning of the diesel particulate filter auto­
matically without the warning lamp lighting up. If the warning lamp
still appears, you should drive to a qualified workshop. •

long waits on red. Turning the engine off for just 30 -40 seconds
saves more f ue l than i s bu rned star ting the engine again.
It takes a long time for the engine to warm up fully when it is
running at idle. However , wear and noxious em issions are especial ly
h ig h w hen the eng ine is warming up. So y ou should dr ive away as
soon as you start the engine and avoid running at high RPMs whi le
the eng ine is still warming up.
0 Note
Do not leave en gine idling unattended after starting. If warn ing
lights should come on to indicate improper operation, they would
go unheeded . Extended idling also produces heat, wh ich cou ld
result in overheating or other damage to the vehicle or other
property .
Regular maintenance
A badly tuned engine unnecessarily wastes a lot of fuel.
- Have your vehicle serviced at regu lar intervals.
By having your vehicle regu lar ly serviced by an authorized Audi
dea ler he lps to ensure that it runs properly and econo mically . The
condition of your vehicle not only affects its safety and abi lity to

Che ck yo ur oil ea ch t ime you fill your t ank.
T he amount of oil used is related to engine load and speed.
It is nor mal for the oil consumption of a new engine to reach its
lowest va lue after a certain mi leage has been driven.
You must drive your vehicle about 3,000 mi les (5,000 kilometers)
before you can proper ly assess oil consumption .
T his also applies to fuel consumption and engine output.

Fewer short trips
Fuel consump tion will always be relatively hi gh on shor t
trips.
- Try to avo id driving short dista nces wi th a cold en gine.
The engine and cata lytic c onverter have to reach their optima l oper ­

• Just after starting, a cold engine in a mid-size car burns the fuel
at a poor rate of 6 -8 miles per gallon (30 -40 11100km). Half a mi le
down the road, the mileage improves to 12 MPG (20 1/100 km). It wi ll
take the engine no less than
two and a half miles (4 km) of driving to
warm up to its proper operat ing temperature and operate at a n
economic mileage . This exp lains why taking the car for short trips is
a ra ther waste ful convenience .
• The outs ide temperat ure is also critical in this regard. Your car
consumes more fuel in the winter than in the summer .•

Automatic car wash
The vehicle can be washed in almost any modern auto­
matic car wash.
The vehicle paint is so durable that the vehicle can normally be
washed without problems in an automatic car wash . However , the
effect on the paint depends to a large extent on the design of the
facility, the filtering of the wash water, the type of wash and care
material, etc. If the paint has a dull appearance after going through
the car wash or is scratched, bring this to the attention of the oper­
ator immediately . If necessary, use a different car wash .
Before going through a car wash, be sure to take the usual precau ­
tions such as closing the windows and panoramic sliding sunroof *.
Remove antenna if applicable.
If you have installed additional accessories on the vehicle -such as
spoilers, roof rack , etc. -it is best to ask the car wash operator if
these should be removed .
& WARNING
Always read and heed all WARNINGS and other information
=> page 204. •
Washing the vehicle by hand
A lot of water is needed when washing a vehicle by hand.
-Before you start washing, make sure you have read and
understood the WARNINGS=:>
& in "General informa ­
tion" on
page 204.
- First soak all dried dirt until it is soft, then rinse it off.
- As you clean your vehicle, start with the roof and work
your way down to the bottom , using a sponge, a sponge
glove or a clean brush.
- Rinse the sponge or the sponge glove often, flushing it
clean each time.
- Use special car shampoo only for very persistent dirt.
- Rinse the car thoroughly with water.
- Use a chamois leather to gently wipe the exterior dry.
Use a separate sponge for cleaning the wheels, door sills and other
regions exposed to road dirt. In this way , you will not scratch the
paint with coarse particles imbedded in the sponge the next time
you wash the car.
& WARNING
• Do not clean the underside of the chassis, fenders, wheel
covers, or other hard to reach parts without protecting your hands
and arms. You may cut yourself on sharp-edged metal parts . .,

"s ludge," that over time can lead to expensive repairs.
At the time of printing, engine oi ls available in the U .S . and Canada
that meet the exacting specifications of Audi oil standard VW 502 00
(vehicles with gasoline engine) and VW 507 00 (vehicles with diesel
engine) are synthetic engine oils. This does not mean, however, that
every synthe tic engine oil wi ll meet Audi o il standard VW 502 00
(gasoline engines) and VW 507 00 (diesel engines). So always be
sure that you use an approved oil.
To help p reve nt th e for matio n of ha rmful d epo sit s use only oil wit h
the following sp ecific ati ons print ed on th e oil contain er:
• Gas oline engine s: Audi oil sta ndard VW 502 00
• Dies el en gin es: Aud i oil stand ard VW 507 00
O il container labels may carry the speci fication singly or in combi­
nation with other designations and oil qua lity standards.
Vi sc osity
Engine o ils are graded according to their viscosity. The proper
viscosity grade oil for your engine depends on climactic or seasona l
conditions where you drive . You can use o il with a v iscosity grade o f
SAE 5W-40 across all temperature ranges for normal driving condi­
tions.
However, if engine oil viscosity grade SAE 5W-40 is not avai lab le,
you can also use viscosity grade SAE 5W -30 or SAE 0W -40 as long as
it meets Audi oil quality standard VW 502 00 (vehicles with gaso line
engine) or VW 507 00 (vehicles with diesel engine) specifications.
Because engine oil that meets the Aud i o il standard may not be
avai lable everywhere when you need it, we strong ly recommend
that you a lways carry with you an extra quart (liter) of oil that
expressly conforms to the VW 502 00 (vehic les with gaso line engine)
or VW 507 00 (vehicles with diesel engine) specification, in case you
have to top off the oil while on the road.
Ap plie s to veh icles with g asoline eng ine onl y: Only if the level of the
oi l is at or below the min imum mark on the oil dipstick -and no oil that expressly conforms to Audi oi
l standard VW 502 00 specifica ­
tions is availab le -may you top off with a high quality e ngine oi l,
preferably synthetic-based, that meets ACEA A3, ACEA A5 or
ACEA 85 or AP I SL specifications, but even then, on ly in viscos ity
grades SAE 5W-40, SAE 5W -30, or SAE 0W-40. However, during the
entire time between oil change intervals, never top off with more
than a total of 0.5 qt/liter engine oil that does not con form to Audi
oi l specification VW 502 00 .
Applies to veh icle s with die sel eng ine only: Only if the level of the

For more information abo ut engine oi l that has been app roved for
your vehicle, p lease contact either your authorized Audi dea ler or
Audi Custo mer Relations at 1 (800) 822 -2834 or visit our web site at
www.audiusa.com or www.audicanada.ca . Here you will a lso find a
current list of oils (manufacturers, brand names etc.) that conform
to Audi oi l standard VW 502 00 (vehicles with gaso line engine) or
VW 507 00 (vehicles with diese l engine) .
Changin g the engine oil
The engine oil and oil filter must be changed according to the
mi leage (ki lometers) and time in tervals specified in your vehic le's
Warranty
& Maintenance book let. Do not exceed these intervals -
harmful deposits from old engine oil can reduce engine perfor ­
mance and can lead to expensive engine repairs.
Changing the oil at the recommended intervals is so very important
because the lub ricating prope rties of oi l decrease gradua lly during
normal vehicle use . If you are not sure when you have your oil
changed, ask your authorized Audi Service Advisor . ..,.
Vehicle care I t •

-~_C_ h_e _c _ k_ i_n ...:::g::;...._ a_n_ d_ f_ i_ll _in -'g:::;.._ ___________________________________________ _
Under some circumstances the engine oil should even be changed
more frequently. Change oil more often if you drive mostly short
distances, operate the vehicle in dusty areas or mostly under stop ­
and -go traffic conditions, or when you use your vehicle where
temperatures stay below freezing point for long periods .
Detergent additives in the oil will make fresh oil look dark after the
engine has been running for a short time. This is normal and is not
a reason to change the oil more often than recommended .
Damage or malfunctions due to lack of maintenance
It is essential that you change your oi l at the recommended intervals
using only engine oil that complies with Audi oil standard
VW 502 00 (vehicles with gasoline engine) or VW 507 00 (vehicles
with diesel engine). Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage or malfunctions due to failure to follow recom­
mended maintenance and use requirements as set forth in the Audi
Owner's Manual and Warranty
& Maintenance booklet. Your dealer
will have to deny warranty coverage unless you present to the dealer proof in the form of Service or Repair Orders that all scheduled
maintenance was performed in a timely manner .•
Engine oil consumption
The engine in your vehicle depends on an adequate
amount of oil to lubricate and cool all of its moving parts.
In order to provide effective lubrication and cooling of interna l
engine components, all internal combustion engines consume a
certain amount of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to engine
and may change significant ly over the life of the engine. Typically,
engines with a specified break -in period (see=>
page 195) consume
more oil during the break-in period than they consume after oil
consumption has stabilized.
Under normal conditions, the rate of oil consumption depends on
the quality and viscosity of the oil, the RPM (revolutions per minute)
at which the engine is operated, the ambient temperature and road
conditions. Further factors are the amount of oil dilution from water condensation or fuel residue and the oxidation level of the oil. As
any
engine is subject to wear as mileage builds up, the oil consump­
tion may increase over time until replacement of worn components
may become necessary .
With all these variables coming into play, no standard rate of oi l
consumption can be established or specified. There is no alternative
to regular and frequent checking of the oil level, see
Note.
If the yellow engine oil level warning symbol in the instrument
cluster lights up, you should check the oil level as soon as
possible
with the oil dipstick=> page 229. Top off the oi l at your
earliest convenience =>
page 230.
& WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS
=> &. in "Work ing in the engine
compartment" on
page 224.
0 Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to cause severe damage
to the engine.
[ i ] 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 engine at
regular intervals , preferably each time you refuel, and always before
going on a long trip.
• If you have the impression your engine consumes excessive
amounts of oil, we recommend that you consu lt your 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. Your authorized Audi
dealer has instructions about how to measure oil consumption
accurately. •
