gine at regular inte rvals, preferab ly each

on a long trip .
-If you have the impression your engine con­
sumes excess ive amounts of o il, we recom­
mend that you cons ult your Audi dealer to
have the cause of your concern prope rly di­
agnosed. Keep in mind that t he accurate
measurement of oil consumpt ion req uires
great care and may take some time . Your
A udi dealer has instructions about how to
measure oil consumption accurately.
Checking the eng ine oil level
The engine oil level can be checked in the Info­
tainment system
F ig. 189 Infotainment: o il level indicato r

• Shut the engine off when it is warm.
• Switch only the ignit ion back on .

Depending on the way the vehicle is driven and
the operating conditions, oil consumption can be
up to 1/2 quart per 600 miles (0.5 liter per
222
1,000 km). Consumption may be h igher within
the first 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Because of t his, the engine oil Leve l must be
