mark ing
(D , then engine oil must be added .
See¢@.
@ Do not add engine oil.
(D Note
- T he engine o il level must not be below the
ma rking

of engine damage.

not be above the marking @, because this
increases the risk of catalytic converter and/
or engine damage . Do not start the engine .
Contact an authorized Audi dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Facility to have excess eng ine oil extracted if necessary .
(D Tips
- The engine oil consumption may be up to
0.5 quart/600 miles (0.5 liter/1,000 km),
depending on driving style and operating
conditions. Consumpt io n may be h igher
dur ing the fi rst 3,000 mi les (5,000 km) . Be
c ause of this , the eng ine o il level must be
che cked regularly.
It is best to check each
t ime you refuel your vehicle and before long
drives .
- In order to prov ide effective l ubrication and
cooling of interna l engine components, a ll
internal combustion engines consume a cer
tain amount of oil. O il consumption varies
from engine to engine and may change sig nificantly over the life of the engine. Typi
cally, eng ines with a specif ied break-in peri
od consume more oil during the break-in pe
riod than they consume after o il consump
t ion has stabilized .
- Under normal condit ions, the rate of oil
cons umption depends on t he quality and
viscosity of the oil, the RPM (revo lutions per
mi nute) at which the engine is ope rated, the
ambien t temperature and road conditions .
Further factors are the amount of oi l dilu
tion from water condensation or fuel resi due and the oxidation level of the oil. As any
eng ine is subject to wear as m ileage builds
