Audi Q5 Oil Type Finder

Audi Q5 Overview

With the Q5 series, Audi has a successful vehicle in the upper mid-range SUV on offer. Reliable engines ensure lively and economical driving, and by observing the oil change interval, you can help ensure a long engine life as well.

During its construction period from 2005 to 2015, the Audi Q5 8R developed into a bestseller for the Ingolstadt company. The wide range of engines also played its part. The petrol engines were 2.0 TFSI, 3.0 TFSI, 3.2 FSI, and the SQ5 TFSI with 354 hp.

In January 2017, the current Audi Q5 FY was launched. The 2.0 TFSI, SQ5 TFSI, 45 TFSI, 50 TSFI e, and 55 TFSI e are available as petrol engines. The large range of turbo diesels includes the 2.0 TDI, 3.0 TDI, 35 TDI, 40 TDI, 45 TDI, 50 TDI, and SQ5 TDI.

What is the standard Audi Q5 Oil Change Interval

Audi stipulates a flexible LongLife oil change interval for the Audi Q5 FY as well as the Q5 8R. This is a maximum of 30,000 kilometers or 24 months and also depends on the driving style and the stress on the respective Q5. The on-board computer always provides information about the remaining duration or remaining kilometers.

How much oil does a Audi Q5 need?

Audi Q5 8R Oil Quantities: 4.6L of oil must be filled in for the TSFI petrol engine with a displacement of 2.0; the 3.0 TDI engine requires the largest quantity of oil at 6.9 liters.

Audi Q5 FY Oil Quantities: The 2.0 TDI turbo diesel engine has the lowest oil requirement with 4.7L. The large SQ5 petrol engine with a displacement of 3.0 requires a filling quantity of 7.25L of oil.

The well-known brand oil Castrol Edge 5W-30 LL is suitable for almost every engine in the Q5 range. It meets the required specification and has an Audi/VW approval.

Our Top Tips For Changing Your Oil

1. Gather Your Arsenal of Tools and Materials

Picture this: you're an orchestra conductor, and your toolkit is your symphony of instruments. Before diving in, ensure you've got your stage set with a socket wrench, an oil filter wrench, an oil drain pan, a funnel, and of course, fresh oil and an oil filter. Forget something, and it's like trying to play Beethoven's Ninth without the strings section.

2. Warm Up Your Engine

Just like an athlete stretches before a big game, let your Audi Q5's engine warm up for a few minutes. This will help the oil flow better, making it easier to drain. Cold oil is stubborn, like an uncooperative cat in a bath. So, give it a chance to loosen up.

3. Mind the Belly of the Beast

As you slide under your Q5, imagine you're exploring a hidden cave, but a far less exciting one. Locate the oil drain plug, and make sure your oil drain pan is positioned beneath it. Unscrew that plug like it owes you money, and let the old oil flow out like a river of regret. Be patient; rushing this step is like trying to catch a slippery eel.

4. Replace the Filter

The oil filter is your car's kidney, keeping things clean and healthy. Unscrew it using an oil filter wrench, but remember, it might be clinging on like your grandma's favorite jar of pickles. Once it's off, rub a bit of the new oil on the rubber gasket of the new filter, so it seals nicely. Then screw it on hand-tight – you don't want it too loose or too tight, just like Goldilocks and her porridge.

5. Fill 'Er Up

Now comes the satisfying part - filling your Audi Q5 with fresh, life-giving oil. Use a funnel to prevent spills; after all, it's not a party until someone spills the punch. Consult your owner's manual for the right oil type and quantity. Pour slowly and steadily, and don't forget to check the dipstick periodically to ensure you've hit the sweet spot on the oil level.
