Changing
the engine
oil
We recommend that have your oil changed by an auth o-
rized Audi dealer or a qualified service station.
Before you check anything in the engine compartment,
always read
and heed all WARNING S =>
&
in "Working in the engine co m part-
ment" on page
307.
The engine oi l must be changed according to the interva ls specified
in your Warranty
&
Maintenance booklet . This is very important
because the lubricating
properties of oi l diminish gradua lly during
normal vehicle use.
Under some circumstances
the engine oil shou ld be changed more
frequently . Change oil mo re often if you drive most ly short
distances, operate the vehicle in dusty areas or under predomi-
nantly stop -and -go t raffic conditions,
or have your ve hicle where
temperatures
remain below freezing for extended periods.
Detergent additives in the oil will make fresh oi l look dark after the
eng ine has been runn ing for a short t ime . Th is 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 spec ial
tools and necessary expertise required, we strong ly recommend
that you have your oi l changed by an authorized Audi deal er or a
qualified service station .
If you choose to change your oil yourself, please note the following
important
information:
