CARE
Seasonally adjusted gasoline
Many gasolines are blended to perform es­
pecially well for winter or summer driving.
During seasonal change-over , we suggest
that you fill up at busy gas stations where
the seasonal adjustment is more likely to be
made in time. Gasoline
additives
A major concern among many auto
manufacturers is carbon deposit build-up
caused by the type of gasoline you use.
Although gasolines differ from one
man ufacturer to another, they have certain
things in common. All gasolines contain
properties that can cause deposits to col­
lect on vital engine components, such as
fuel injectors and intake valves. Although
most gasoline brands include additives to
keep engine and fuel systems clean, they
are not equally effective.
After an extended period of using inade­
quate fuels, built-up carbon deposits can
rob your engine of peak performance. Note
Damage or malfunction due to poor
fuel quality is not covered by the
Audi New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Engine oil
Specification and viscosity
Yo ur engine was factory filled with an all
season high quality engine oil. If you need to
add oil between oil changes, use any high
quality petroleum- or synthetic-based oil
with correct specifications.
The following terms must appear on the oil
conta iner singly or in combination with oth­
er designations:
- API Service SJ
- ACEA A2 or ACEA A3
Engine oils are graded according to their vis­
cosity. The proper grade to be used in your
engine depends on existing climatic or sea­
sonal conditions.
The engine oil which was first put into your
engine has a viscosity grade of SAE OW--30.
You can use this oil over all temperature
ranges for normal driving. If engine oil vis­
costy grade SAE OW--30 is not available, you
can also use SAE 5W-30 or SAE 5W-40.
See your authorized Audi Dealer tor more in­
formation regarding oil for your vehicle.

Engine oil identification symbol
Oils of the proper qualityforyour vehicle will
be identified with a new "starburst" sym­
bol A. The starburst symbol indicates that
the oil has been certified by the American
Petr oleum Institute (API). Another
oil identi fication symbol B could be
added to the oil container to help you select
the correct oil.
1 - The top portion indicates the oil quality
by API designations.
2 - The center portion shows the SAE oil
viscosity grade.
3- The lower portion indicates that the oil
has fuel saving capabilities.
Note
Look for one of these symbols on the
front of the oil container. and use
only oils that display these symbols.
