Engine oil consumption
T he engine in your vehicle depends on an ade­
qua te amoun t of oil to lubricate and cool all of
i t s moving par ts.
In order to provide effective lub rication and coo l­
ing of in te rnal engine components, a ll internal
~ combustion engines consume a cer tain amount
;:::: of oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to en-
" ~ gine and may change sign ificantly over the life of 0
~ the eng ine . Typically, eng ines with a spec ified c:o
Ch eck ing and Filling
break-in period (see ¢ page 55) consume more
oi l during th e break-in period than they consume
after oil consumption has stabilized.
Under normal cond itions, the rate of oil con­
sumption depends on the q uality and viscos ity o f
the oil , the RPM (revolutions per minut e) at
which the engine is operated, the amb ient tem­
perature and road condit ions. Further factors are
the amount of oil dilution from w ater condensa­
tion or fuel resid ue and the oxidation level of the
o il. As any engine is subject to wear as mileage
builds up, the oi l consumption may increase ove r
t ime unt il repla cement of worn components may
become necessary.
With al l these variables coming into play, no
standard rate of o il consumption can be estab­
l ished or spec ified . T he re is no alte rnative to reg­
u la r and fre quent chec king of the o il level , see
Note .
If the yellow engine oil level warning symbo l II
in the instrument cluster lights up , you sho uld
check the o il level as soon as possible
¢
page 248 . Top off the o il at your earliest con­
venience ¢
page 248.
A WARNING
Before you check anything in the engine com­
partment, always read and heed all WARN­
INGS¢
page 244 .
(D Note
Driving with an insufficient oil level is likely to
cause severe damage to the engine.
(D Tips
- The oil pressure warning display. is not
an indicator of the oil le vel. Do not rely on
it . Instead, check the oil level in your en·
gine at regular intervals , preferabl y each
time you refuel, and always befo re going
on a long trip.
- If you have the impression your engine con­
sumes excessive amounts of oil, we recom­
mend that you consult an author ized Audi
dea ler to have the cause of your concern
prope rly diagnosed . Keep in mind that the .,,.

ry . The marking @¢ fig. 190 must not be ex­
ceeded ¢Cl).
- Screw the engine oil filler cap
't'::71 and slide the
dipstick all the way in .
.&, WARNING
-When adding eng ine oi l, do not let o il d rip
on to hot engine components. Th is increases
t he risk of a fire.

ing correct ly so that oi l does not leak out
onto the hot engine and exha ust system
when the engine is running, beca use this is
a fire hazard .
- Always clean skin thoroughly if it comes into
contact with engine oi l.
(D Note
- The engine o il level mus t not be under the
marking
(D ¢ fig. 190, because th is increas­
es the risk of engine dam age .

@ For the sa ke of the env ironment
- Engine oi l 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.
The engine oil consumption may be up to 0.5 quart/600 m iles (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). Because of this,
the engine oil level must be checked regular­ ly.
It would be best to check each time you re­
fue l your vehicle and before long dr ives.
Changing the engine oil
We recommend that have your oil changed by an
authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service sta­
tion.
Before you check anyth ing in the eng ine compart­
ment,
alw ays r ea d and heed all WARNINGS Q .&.
in Working in the engine compartment on
page 244.
The engine oil must be changed according to the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte­
n ance booklet. This is very important because the
l ubri cat ing propert ies of o il diminish gradually
d ur ing normal vehicle use.
Under some c ircumstances the eng ine o il should
be changed more frequently . Change oil more of­
ten if you d rive mostly short distances, ope rate
the vehicle in dusty areas or under predominant ly
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
l ook da rk 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 p roper disposal, along
with the special tools and necessa ry expertise re­
qu ired, we strong ly recommend that you have
Ch eck ing and Filling
your oi l changed by an authorized Audi dealer or

and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, a loss can come
from the coolant boiling through overheating
and being pushed out of the cooling system.
A WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized and can be­
come very hot . To reduce the risk of burns
from hot coolant:
- Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap when the eng ine is hot. This increases the
risk of burns.
- Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
- Protect your face, hands and arms from es-
caping coolant and steam by covering the
coolant tank cap with a large, thick cloth .
- Turn the coolant tank cap counterclockwise
slowly and keep light pressure on the cap .
- To reduce the risk of burns, do not allow any
antifreeze or coolant to drip onto the ex­
haust system or hot engine components .
The ethylene g lycol in engine coolant can
catch fire under certain circumstances.
- The coolant add itive and the coolant can be
dangerous to your health. For this reason,
keep the coolant in the original container
and away from children. There is a risk of
poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the radiator fan can sw itch
on even if the ignition is switched off, which
increases the risk of injury.
(D Note
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system and
damage the engine. If this is the case, do not
cont inue driving. See an authorized Audi deal­
er or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis­
tance.
