What oil and how much is necessary to replace?

Consider the issue of choosing oil for replacement in more detail, depending on the year of the release of Audi A6, starting with the 2005 release vehicles.

• For machines 2005 - 2007, only semi-synthetic oil should be chosen.
• For cars of 2008 - "semi-synthetic" and mineral oil.
• For cars 2009 - 2011's, the suit "synthetic" and "semi-synthetics."
• For cars built, starting in 2012, should be selected only synthetic oils.

Motor oils for AUDI A6 on gasoline:

• released in 2005 should have a category API - SL,
• issued in 2006 - 2011, must have category API - SM,
• released, starting in 2012, must have category API - SN.

For AUDI A6 cars with a diesel engine:

• issued in 2005, should have a category API - CI,
• issued in 2006 - 2011, API - CI-4,
• released in 2012 - 2013 GG, API - CJ,
• issued, beginning in 2014 and after, API - CJ-4.

How to choose a motor oil for winter?

• Audi A6 released in 2005, 2006, 2008 and in 2010 will fit winter oils 0W-40 and 5W-40.
• For cars released in 2007 and in 2009, oils are suitable 0W-30.0W-40.

• For released in 2014-2015 - Only oil 0W-50.
• For the 2016 car release - 0W-50, 0W-60.

How to choose engine oil for the summer?

• For cars Audi A6, released from 2005 to 2011 (inclusive) will suit summer oils With parameters 20W-40, 25W-40. For cars in 2011 can still be used 25W-50 oil.
• For released in 2012 and in 2013 - oils 20W-40,25W-50.
• For released in 2014 and in 2015 - oils 15W-50, 20W-50.
• For released in 2016 - oils 15W-50, 15W-60.

How to choose all-season oil?

• For Audi A6 cars released in 2005 - 2010. (except 2008), all-season oils are suitable with the following viscosity parameters: 10W-40, 15W-40. For the production of 2008 release, only oil 15W-40 is suitable.

In addition to original oils with tolerances of volkswagen Audi Gruppe (VAG), to replace, you can choose other options that are also well suitable for the engine of your car if you are correctly selected by viscosity - these are products from Mobil, Shell and Castrol.

Now, to the question: How much oil pour into Audi A6?

When replacing oil and, simultaneously with it, the oil filter, there is the following dependence on the type of engine and its volume:

• at 1.8 - you need 4.0 l,
• in volume 2.0 - pour 4.2 l,
• in a volume 2.4 - 6.0 l of casting,
• at 2.7 T qu - pouring 6.9 liters,
• in the amount of 2.8 and 3.0 - 6.5 liters of pouring,
• in 4.2 qu and S6 - pouring 7.5 liters,
• in 1.9 TDI - pouring 3.5 liters,
• in the 2.5 TDI - pour 6.0 liters.

By the way, when you fill a new oil, do not rush to fill the entire volume at once, do not fall half liter first - it's later it later.

The process of replacing the oil

So, prepare the new oil and filter, required tool, Funnel for the Bay of Oil and - Forward, to work. All work is done only after the engine is warmed up to operating temperature. Then, muffle the engine and, after 15 minutes, proceed to work. All the subtleties of the process consecrated in the video below.

If video does not show, update the page or

Audi A6 is a reborn Audi 100 in 1994. The first version of A6 was conceived as restyling, but eventually passed into another name. model Row. Next, we will deal with how to change (and which are suitable for the engine 2.4) engine oil.

The manufacturer recommends maintenance every 15,000 km for gasoline and 10,000 km for diesel units. In practice, the owners are trying to serve already at 8-10 thousand. Such selection condition associated with road coat and the quality of lubricating materials on the market.

What oil pour and how much?

A6 owners pour mainly synthetic oils with a viscosity of 5W-30 and 5W-40. In the diesel engine, the viscosity of 10W-40 is poured (necessarily marked on the package that the product is suitable for diesel engines)

The choice and purchase of some particular brand / firm is not fundamental, you can take any popular and not expensive oil from the store. As an option we give a small part of the common:

• Motul 5w30;
• Lazerway LL 5W-30;
• Castrol 5W40;
• Mobil 5W40;
• Total Quartz 5W-40;
• Liquima Molly 5W40;

Which viscosity to select?

The choice of a specific viscosity must depend on the temperature in your area. Plate located below will help determine the "correct" the viscosity is suitable for your region.

Temperature working range	Viscosity
from -35 to +20	0W-30
from -35 to +35	0W-40
from -25 to +20	5W-30.
from -25 to +35	5W-40
-20 to +30	10W-30.
from -20 to +35	10W-40
from -15 to +45	15W-40
from -10 to +45	20W-40
from -5 to +45	SAE 30.

In addition to oil, it is necessary to change the cleaning filter, for each engine there may be "their" models of filters for this to give specific examples of suitable models not reasonably.

2.4 liter engines

• 2.4 (136 hp, 100 kW) (ALW, ARN, ASM);
• 2.4 (156 hp, 115 kW) (APC);
• 2.4 (163 hp, 120 kW) (AJG, APZ, AMM);
• 2.4 (165 hp, 121 kW) (ALF, AGA, ARJ, APS, AML);
• 2.4 quattro (163 hp, 120 kW) (AJG, APZ);
• 2.4 quattro (165 hp, 121 kW) (ALF, AGA, APS, ARJ, AML);

When buying, let me know your engine kit in order to make sure that it can accurately select a suitable filter (or filter element).

Instruction

1. We warm the engine up to 45-50 degrees. Warm oil has a better turnover and better stalking from the engine with a complete replacement. Our task is removed to the maximum of the old dirty and waste fluid that no longer has useful properties from the engine and pour a new one. If there is a lot of old dirty oil in the crankcase, it is sweeping with the new and worsen its useful properties. War down before working the engine 5-7 minutes, it wakes up enough.
2. For convenient access to the drain plug (and in some models, the oil filter is also attached from the bottom) and the bottom of the car as a whole, it will be necessary to subdominate or call the observation pit ( the best way). Also, in some models, the "protection" of the engine crankcase can be installed.
3. Open air access to the crankcase by unscrewing the cover of the filler neck and the probe.
   
4. Substitutes large container (equal to the quantity of oil).
5. We unscrew the drain plug with the key. Sometimes the drain plug is designed as a common "screw" under the open-end wrench, and sometimes can be unscrewed by means of four or hexagon. Do not forget to wear protective gloves, oil is likely to wake warm but you need to bear in mind caution.
   
   
6. We are waiting for about 10-15 minutes while working out in a basin or a cropped plastic canister.
7. Optional point but very effective! Wash engine special fluid It is not inscribed in the service regulations and is not mandatory for implementation - but. Bit zamorochevshis you many times better wash out the engine of an old, black oil. Thus washing is performed with the old oil filter within 5-10 minutes. You'd be surprised what a black oil will pour this liquid. Use this liquid is very simple. A detailed description should be present on the label of flushing fluid.
8. We change the filter of the cum. In some models, the filter itself is changing and the filter element (usually yellow). Impregnation of the new filter with oil before installation is mandatory. The lack of oil in a new filter before starting the engine can cause oil starvation that in turn can produce filter deformations. In general, this is not a good thing. Do not forget to lubricate the rubber sealing ring before installing.
   
   
9. Pour new oil. Making sure that the drain plug is spinning, and the new oil cleaning filter is installed. We can start the fill of the new oil focusing on the pouch. The level should be between the minimum and maximum mark. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, some oil leaves and the level goes down.
   
10. In the future, when the engine is running, the oil level will certainly change, be attentive for the first few days of operation. Re-check the oil level on the PCU after the first start.

Video materials

In the video clip specialist changing step by step motor oil audi car A6 with 2.4 liter engine.

In motor oils Castrol long life for AUDI A6 (C7) A special set of additives is applied. Thanks to it, the manufacturer promises the preservation of all properties of its premium (EDGE) product during the entire period until another then. In some European countries, when pouring this oil is allowed to increase between the service interval.

What should give this oil. First, this is a reduction in the noise of the engine, in the second the best lubricant properties, in the third decrease in fuel consumption. In fact, all manufacturers add such additives, but only the largest of them can afford to test the tests on real samples and collect the best set.

That is why these brand data are presented in our auto parts store. Buying them can be confident in the reliability and correctness of choice.

Buy original oil Audi 5W30

Lubrication reduces friction between the inhibited surfaces of the parts of the motor (cylinders, piston, distribution Vala.). In addition, working fluid Promotes fuel efficiency and increase the efficiency of the engine. To extend the service life of the power unit, you need buy original butter Audio 5W30and engage in its regular replacement. Catalog numbers corporate products - G055195M4.and G055195M2..

Replacing lubricant

The fact is that there are lubricating components in techniques that accumulate precipitation, as well as combustion and friction products. Thus, the lubricant in the process of operation of the machine is naturally contaminated. Even the most expensive and high-quality product over time loses its initial characteristics and needs to be replaced.

Update techniques needed regularly. Fill fresh corporate oil It is necessary at intervals written in the vehicle instructions and developed by German specialists, taking into account the peculiarities of the engine and operating conditions. At the same time, a new filter is installed during that.

Selection of products

The AUDI tolerance system developed by Volkswagen AG engineers has an abbreviation VW 5 (XX.XX). Products comply with a specific class of standardized systems for combining engineers of the American Automobile Industry and the Association of European Automobiles.

Motor oils VW 504.00 today are considered the most popular among specifications for vehicle with gasoline engines. Products are recommended for machines with a standard service interval (15,000 km of run or 12 months) and with increased Longlife (30,000 km or 24 months).

The tolerance applies to the old standards of VW 503.00 and VW 503.01 for engines operating on gasoline. Therefore, the cars of the old anniversary of the release can use the goods of the new tolerance series. All products have one viscosity class 5W30.

Specification VW 507. 00 is a new standard VAG, which is designed for diesel modifications with summer filter Or without it. It contains minimum sulfate ash, phosphorus and sulfur, therefore the service life of the filter element is significantly extended.
