Audi recommends Longlife high performance
engine oil from Audi Genuine Parts
Using the proper engine oil is important for the
functionality and s ervice life of the engine. Your
engine was factory-filled with a high -quality oil
which can usually be used throughout the entire
year .
(D Note
Your Limited New Vehicle Warranty does not
cover damage or malfunctions due to failure
to follow recommended maintenance and use
requirements as set forth in the Audi Owner's
Manual and Warranty
& Maintenance booklet .
-Use only a high quality engine oil that ex-
pressly complies with the Audi oil quality
standard specified for your vehicle's engine .
Using any other oil can cause serious engine
damage.
-Do not mix any lubricants or 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
ble that meets the Audi oil quality standard
your engine requires, you may add a total of
no more than 0.5 qt (0.5 l) of a high-quality
"synthetic"oil that meets the following speci­
fications.
-ACEA A3 or API SM with a viscosity grade of
SAE 0W-30, SAE 5W-30 or SAE 5W-40.
-For more information about engine oil that
has been approved for your vehicle, please
contact either your authorized Audi dealer
or Audi Customer Relations at 1 (800) 822-2834 or visit our web site at

· Engine oil consumption
T he engine in your vehicle depends on on ade­
quate amount of oil to lubricate and cool oil of
its moving ports .
In order to provide effective lubrication and cool­
ing of internal engine components, all internal
combustion engines consume a certain amount
of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to en­ gine and may change significantly over the life of
the engine . Typically, engines with a specified
break-in period
(see ¢ page 74) consume more
oil during the break-in period than they consume
after oil consumption has stabilized.
Under normal conditions, the rate of oil con­
sumption depends on the quality and viscosity of
the oil , the RPM (revolutions per minute) at
which the engine is operated, the ambient tem­ perature and road conditions. Further factors are
the amount of oil dilution from water condensa­
tion or fuel residue and the oxidation level of the
oil. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oil consumption may increase over
ti me until replacement of worn components may
become necessary.
With all these variables coming into play, no standard rate of oil consumption can be estab­
lished or specified . There is no alternative to reg­
ular and frequent checking of the oil level , see
Note.
If the yellow engine oil level warning symbol II
in the instrument cluster lights up, you should
check the oil level as soon as possible
¢ page 321. Top off the oil at your earliest con­
venience
¢ page 321.
A WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine com­
partment, always read and heed all WARN­
INGS
¢ page 316.
(D Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine.
IJII,

Checking and Filling
CJ) Note
-The engine oil level must not be under the
marking
(D r=> fig. 272, because this increas­
es the risk of engine damage.
- After adding engine oil, the oil level must
not be above the marking
@ c:> fig . 2 72, be­
cause this increases the risk of catalytic con­
verter and/or engine damage. Do not start
the engine. Contact an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility to
have excess engine oil extracted if necessa­
ry .
- Do not mix any additional lubricants into
the engine oil. Damage caused by such addi­
tives is not covered by the warranty .
@ For the sake of the environment
-Engine oil should never enter the sewer sys­
tem or come into contact with the ground under any circumstances.
- Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of empty oil containers.
@ Tips
The engine oil consumption may be up to
0 .S quart/600 miles (0.5 liter/1,000 km), de­
pending on driving style and operating condi­
tions. Consumption may be higher during the
first 3,000 miles (5,000 km). The engine oil
level must be checked regularly. It would be
best to check each time you refuel your vehi­
cle and before long drives.
Changing the engine oil
We recommend that hove your oil changed by on
authorized Audi d eal er or o qualified s ervice sta­
tion.
Before you check anything in the engine compart­
m ent,
always read and heed all WARNINGS
r=> page 316.
The engine oil must be changed according to the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte­
nance bookl et. This is very important b ecause the
lubric ating properties of oil diminish gradually
during normal vehicle use.
322
Under some circumstances the engine oil should
be changed more frequently. Chang e oil more of­
ten if you drive mostly short distances, operate
the vehicle in dusty areas or under predominantly
stop-and-go traffic conditions, or have your vehi­
cle where temperatures remain below freezing
for extended 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.
Because of the problem of proper disposal, along
with the special tools and necessary expertise re­
quired, we strongly recommend that you have
your oil changed by an authorized
Audi dealer or
a qualified service station .
If you choose to change your oil yourself, please
note the following important information :
,&. WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury if you
must change the engine oil in your vehicle
yourself:
- Wear eye protection.
- To reduce the risk of burns from hot engine
oil , let the engine cool down to the touch.
- When removing the oil drain plug with your
fingers, stay as far away as possible . Always
keep your forearm parallel to the ground to
help prevent hot oil from running down your
arm.
- Drain the oil into a container designed for
this purpose, one large enough to hold at
least the total amount of oil in your engine.
- Engine oil is poisonous . Keep it well out of
the reach of children.
- Continuous contact with used engine oil is
harmful to your skin . Always protect your
skin by washing oil off thoroughly with soap
and water .
0 Note
Never mix oil additives with your engine oil.
These additives can damage your engine and
adversely affect your Audi Limited New Vehi­
cle Warranty .

When the vehicle is partially load­ed (up to 3 peop le), use the tire
pressure specified for normal
loads
c::> table on page 338. If
driving the vehicle when fully
loaded, you m ust increase the t ire
pressure to the maximum speci­
fied pressure
c::> ,A .
Checking /correcting ti re
pressure
.,.. Check the tire pressure at least
once per month and also check it before every long drive.
.,.. Always check the tire pressure
when the tires are
cold. Do not
reduce the pressure if it increas ­
es when the tires are warm .
.,..Check the label c::> fig. 281 for
the correct tire pressure based
on vehicle load.
.,.. Correct the tire pressure if nec ­
essary.
.,.. Vehicles with Tire P ressure Mon ­
itoring System*: store the modi­
fied tire pressure in the Infotain­ ment system
c::> page 346.
.,.. Check the pressure in the emer­
gency tire*/spare tire*. Always
maintain the maximum temper ­
ature that is specified for the
tire .
Wheels
.&_ WARNING
Always adapt the tire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle
load.
- Overloading can lead to loss of
vehicle control and increase the risk of an accident. Read
and follow the important safe­
ty precautions in
c::> page 339,
Tires and vehicle load limits.
- The tire must flex more if the
tire pressure is too low or if
the vehicle speed or load are
too high. This heats the tire up
too much. This increases the
risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and
result in loss of vehicle con ­
trol.
-Incorrect tire pressure in ­
creases tire wear and has a negative effect on driving and
braking behavior, which in ­
creases the risk of an accident .
(D Note
Replace lost valve caps to re­
duce the risk of damage to the
tire valves .

Wheels
Wheel bolts and rims
Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts must be clean and loosen/tighten
easily .
Rims
Rim s with a bolted r im ring * or with bolted wheel
covers* consist of multiple pieces. These compo­
nents were bolted together using special bolts
and a special procedure . You must not repair or
disassemble
them ¢_&. .
..&, WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or repaired in­
correctly can become loose and result in loss
of vehicle control , which increases the risk of
an accident. For the correct tightening specifi­
cation, see
¢ page 35 7, After changing a
wheel.
- Always keep the wheel bolts and the
threads in the wheel hub clean and free of
grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that fit the rim.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility. Never repair or disassemble
rims yourself, because this increases the risk
of an accident .
Winter tires
Winter tires significantly improve the vehicle 's
handling when driving in winter conditions. Be­
cause of their construction (width, compound,
tread pattern) , summer tires provide less trac­
tion on ice and snow.
.,. Use winter tires on all four wheels .
.,. Only use winter tires that are approved for your
vehicle.
.,. Please note that the maximum permitted
speed may be lower with winter tires
¢ _&. .An
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Serv­
ice Facility can inform you about the maximum
permitted speed for your tires.
.. Check the tire pressure after installing wheels
¢ page 336.
342
The effectiveness of winter tires is reduced great­
ly when th e tread is worn down to a depth of
0.157 inch (4 mm). The characteristics of winter
tires also decrease greatly as the tire ages, re ­
gardless of the remaining tread.
'
..&, WARNING
- Never drive faster than the maximum per ­
mitted speed for your tires. This could cause
the tires to heat up too much. This increases
the risk of an accident because it can cause
the tire to burst .
- Always adapt your driving to the road and
traffic conditions . Drive carefully and reduce
your speed on icy or slippery roads . Even
winter tires can lose traction on black ice.
{® For the sake of the environment
Reinstall summer tires at the appropriate
time, because they provide better handling
when roads are free of snow and ice. Summer
tires cause less road noise, tire wear and fuel
consumption.
(D Tips
You can also use all season tires instead of
winter tires. Please note that in some coun­
tries where winter tires are required, only
winter tires with the
& symbol may be per­
mitted.
Snow chains
-
Snow chains not only improve the driving in win­
ter road conditions, but also the braking.
.. Only install snow chains on the front wheels.
This applies also to vehicles with all wheel drive* .
.. Check and correct the seating of the snow
chains after driving a few feet, if necessary . Fol­
low the instructions from the manufacturer .
.,. Note the maximum speed of 30 mph (SO km/
h). Note the local regulations.
Use of snow chains is only permitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons.
