Engine oil
Engine oil specifications
280
233
The engine oil used in your Audi needs the right kind of
oil.
The engine in your Audi is a sophisticated powerplant that was built
to exacting spec ifications. This engine needs the right kind of
engine oil that meets specifications regarding quality and viscosity
so that it can run smoothly and reliably. Choosing the right oil and
changing oil within the time and mileage intervals printed in your
vehicle's Warranty
& Maintenance booklet matters a lot more today
than it did years ago . Audi has developed a special quality standard
for engine oil that will help assure that your vehicle's engine will ge t
the lubrication it needs for proper operation .
Modern engine lubrication has taken a quantum leap in the last few
years . Many synthetic oils available today provide better engine
lubrication that can outlast traditional petro leum -based oils ,
making them a smart choice for use throughout the life of your Audi.
Whether you use synthetic or petroleum -based engine oil, the oi l
that you use must conform to Audi's oil quality standard VW 502 00
to help keep your vehicle's engine running smoothly and help prevent the formation of harmful deposits, sometimes called
"s ludge," that over time can lead to expensive repairs.

the battery of anothe r vehicle.
If th e engine should fail to start because of a discharged or weak
b at te ry, the batt ery ca n be co nnected t o the ba ttery of
another
vehicle, using a pair of jumper cables to start the engine .
Jumper cables
Use
only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross section to safe ly
c arry the s ta rt er cu rrent . Refer to the m anufac tu re r's sp ecifi cati ons.
Use only ju mper cables which have
insulated term ina l c lamps and
are proper ly marked for distinction:

handling of your vehicle 's battery .
• Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the battery
whenever possible .
• A discharged battery can already freeze at temperatures just
below 32 °F (0 °C l. Before connecting a jumper cable , the frozen
battery must be thawed completely , otherwise it could explode .
• Do not allow battery acid to conta ct eyes or skin. Flush any
contacted area with water immediately.
• Improper use of a booster battery to start a vehicle may cause
an explosion.
• Vehicle batteries generate e xplosive gases . Keep sparks , flame
and lighted c igarettes away from batteries.
• Do not try to jump st art any vehicle with a low acid level in the
battery.
• The voltage of the booster battery must also have a 12-Volt
rating. The capacity (Ah l of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery . Use of batteries of
different voltage or substantially different "Ah" rating may cause
an explosion and personal injury .
• Never charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped in the ice may cause

point @of your vehicle.
8. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot catch in any
rotating parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
9. Start the engine of the vehicle providing assistance and
allow it to run at idle.
10. Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged
battery , wait for two to three minutes until the engine
"runs" smoothly.
11. If the engine does not start: Stop trying after 10 seconds
and then try again after about 30 seconds.
12. In the vehicle that has received start assistance, turn on
the heater blower and the rear window heating to elimi­
nate any voltage peaks when disconnecting. Driving
lights must be switched off!
13. Disconnect the cable while the engine is running exactly
in
reverse order to that described in=> page 280,
"Connecting/disconnecting the jumper cable.". When
doing so, make sure that the cable cannot contact
rotating engine parts.
14. Close the cover on the posit ive terminal.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehicle interior. Make sure that the jumper clamps are well
connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery
terminals.
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle, heed
all warnings and instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer.
If
in doubt, call for road service .
• Jumper cables must be long enough so that the vehicles do not
touch.
• When connecting jumper cables, make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS=>
page 209, "Engine compartment" .
0 Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin the generator.
• Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE (+l, and NEGATIVE(-) to
NEGATIVE( -) ground post of the battery manager control unit.
• Check that all screw plugs on the battery cells are screwed in
firmly. If not, tighten plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
• Please note that the procedure for connecting a jumper cable as
described above applies specifically to the case of your vehicle
being jump started. When you are giving a jump start to another
vehicle , do
not connect the negative(-) cable to the negative 1-1
terminal on the discharged battery ©-Instead, securely connect
the negative (-1 cable to either a solid metal component that is
firmly bolted to the engine block or to the engine block itself . If the
battery that is being charged does not vent to the outside, escaping
battery gas could ignite and explode! •
