Engine oil specifications
The engine oil used must conform to exact specifications.
The service interval display in the instrument cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is time for an oil change. We recommend that you have your oil changed by an authorized Audi Service Advisor.
If you must add oil between oil changes, use an
