I’ve taken my Audi S4 to get an oil change recently, and ever since I had taken it in. I’ve noticed oil on the ground. And to keep in mind that it had never leaked oil ever.
You get it sorted?
FINALLY 8 videos then found this one, the guy knows what he's doing with the o rjng.
When I opened the box to the filter for my S5 the first time I was like, "Uh, someone forgot to assemble this". The joys of German engineering. Still prefer the no-drip filter on my old VW CC.
I always pull the dipstick up high and leave it, that way I will remember to fill and check before starting or shutting the hood.
Just did my 2012 S4 oil change. Went with Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5w30 as I had extra from my Stage 2+ WRX. It meets all the specs required. I also added 300ml of Liqui Moly MOS2 Engine treatment and used a fluid extractor which sucked the pan dry, I put in 6.3 litres to register perfect on dipstick and MMI system. All good to go now at 50k:)
Repeat every 2000-3000 miles. You act like it's a once in a lifetime event to change your oil. Don't wait 5000-10000 miles unless you're trying to kill your motor.
@Bob Saget You're whining? I haven't noticed.
@Bob Saget triggered, eh?
@Bob Saget Nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about, probably including yourself. Try reading thoroughly, then repeat.
Can you do a vid for supercharger oil change? I know it says lifetime but I would like to change mine around 100k. Please and thank you.
Thanks for the great video! Quick question, where did you get that funnel? Is that something you guys sell? TIA!
Yup take a look here
www.shopdap.com/vw-audi-special-oil-funnel.html
Will you do a diy on vcg?
Top motul is.motul specific or motul 8100 x clean +
what is the torque spec for top and bottom ???
25+5nm top, 30nm bottom.
You should torque the drain plug.
Use an oil extractor. So much easier
I cant see the torque spec clearly. Is it 22 to 25nm?
Great video. Thank you. I'm looking at buying a 2015 Q7 Sline with the 3.0 TFSI engine. It only has 39,000 miles. Overall, the car is super clean but it seems like the internal engine parts I can see through the cap hole are way more reddish/varnished looking than I would expect. Although it runs great, the owner doesn't have service records. It may just be how these look. This is the only Audi I've ever checked out. They're not common where I live so I can't just stop in somewhere and have a look. I just don't want to buy a poorly-serviced vehicle. I'm sure you know what the internals should look like. Is reddish/varnished ok or a dead give away for poor oil maintenance? Every other (non audi) car I've ever looked in has clean (oily) metal parts visible through the hole.
Will the dipstick linked on this video fit 2013 s5?
why USA models reqiure 5w40 vw502/505 and for European model with same engine 5w30 504/507?
504 is longlife requirement, people in europe like longlife
502 is standard oil change intervals
Please help! I had my oil changed 2 weeks ago. After about a week and a half I noticed that I had a leak. I took it back to the shop and they found it was the sump plug leaking. They drained the oil and put on a new washer and filled it with fresh oil for free. I hoped that was the end of it however today I found that it is leaking again. I took it back to the shop and they told me to bring it in tomorrow morning. He's confused and doesnt know why its leaking. He said he replaced the washer with a new one of the same size, material etc (I think he said it was Brass). Does anyone know why it's leaking? Has he stripped the bolt/sump or is there another reason? Cheers.
Where is it leaking from, front or back? Maybe check to see if the oil filter was inserted correctly, theres a possibility it could be leaking from the oil filter being installed incorrectly.
rcl300018 Thanks for your reply. It was leaking from the sump plug. We ended up installing a fibre washer and it stopped leaking.
i want to buy an s4 instead of lease. im scared of dealership scamming me or trapping me into their maintenance service and over charging. are these cars reliable to buy? im scared to buy used btw.
i have to learn learn how to take care of it on my own since the car alone is already going to break the bank. this is my dream car and i plan on using it for 8-10 years if i buy one. otherwise i will have to look at domestic options such as mustang or challenger, etc. im willing to find a long term reliable mechanic but im scared of sabotage which leads to further costs.
anyone have advice?
What year are you considering? The B8-8.5 model years have one of the most reliable engines to date.
@@andysuxd1cks i was thinking 2019 s4 because im scared of buying used and i dont know much about them. but its sad that they got rid of manual option in the new ones
A4 is nice too but i like S4 a lot more. the engines are obviously different which means one may be a lot easier and cheaper to repair than the other
aidsimo it’s all personal preference. But I like the b8.5 the most out of the current options (as a best overall considering price maintenance and fun) I personally love the supercharger and would never get a later model because of that. The engines are supposedly very reliable. Realistically you are either going to be paying more for a new car with no problems in the beginning, or preventive maintenance and a couple repairs on a used car. However the design of the 8.5 imo is worth preserving. Good design is timeless and this car has and will age well.
aidsimo I would buy it if you can afford it, (another reason b8.5 is good choice, they are getting cheaper. Expect around 40k (20k for car and 20k potential maintenance) but it should be a nearly new car after that regardless of mileage)
Hello, is it the same dipstick for the audi s5 sportback 2010 with the same engine?
there's no chance that the 5 minute oil change place is changing out those o-rings
What O rings :'D
I've never changed one in over a decade and never had one leak
@@aleks138 Just sounds lazy. If there's one included, I'll replace it.
@@TheCrazySquirell exactly people are lazy af my car was missing it from the previous owner
Very simple, we used to replace those on the 2.7 ecoboost engines
Could the dip stick be used for the 4.2l v8 s5?
Great video! I just purchased my oil change kit from Shopdap!
Can you use an oil extractor for this? I know it doesn't have a dip stick but some Audi engines keep the tube for extracting oil. Thanks.
Around the 11:20 mark he shows you where that tube is. I know this is 2 years later 😂
Thank you for showing the replacement of the O Ring on the housing, seems everyone else just throws it away.
Loved the video but dislike the oil selection, Motul has a low heat resistance have tried it twice with bad results.
First in a 7500 mile oil change interval had to refill with two more quarts but when using before and after Castrol and Pentosin didn't need to add a drop at the same OCI.
Second time I used Motul 75w-140 in my PTU and it burned very fast it nearly blew my PTU thank God I noticed a strange noise and pulled over. After that I put in Redline 75w-140 and haven't had issues.
So I wouldn't recommend that anyone should use Motul if you don't want to keep refilling and wasting money, sometimes is not your engine that's burning oil it might be the oil that your using.
Hi I own the A4 B8. It takes up to 2 days each time I change or add oil for the onboard display to show the correct amount. Is this normal?
When i do anything with car fluid. I put the sealed (new) bottle in the driverseat. As a diy mechanic i double or triple check my work.
The best part of the oil change on the 3.0 is the top mounted filter. I change the filter one time before a change. The only engine I know of that you can do that on. Why not use a Mityvac pump to remove the oil from the "dipstick?" I can change the oil and filter in under 20 minutes that way.
Yeah, I never get under the car. I use a fluid extractor directly from the dipstick tube. No fuss, no mess!
Same thing here - I use a Mityvac extractor on my A4 (not S4). Just make sure the oil is hot for easy extraction. Takes 20 minutes if you factor in drinking one beer. Otherwise it's more like 10 minutes... :-)
I also have a BMW 328i xdrive without a dipstick. So even if the oil filter is on top, I still have to go underneath the car. Real pain.
The newer Subaru engines also have top mounted filters. Even easier too as they’re not media based, but fully enclosed cartridge type. Spin off, spin on.
Brendon Kelly mk6, mk7 golfs and also b6 b7 s4 have filters at the top
Romario Smith mk7 golf oil filter is on the bottum
Any videos coming up for transmission, differential, transfer case fluid change?
Yup, yup and yup
@@Deutscheautoparts You already release diff fluid service?
Still skeptical about how oil filter cartridge on top of the engine works better than the traditional lower mounted screw on filter casings.
"Don't lose these it can get pricey"
3:16
You hear one fall in the back followed by the look of financial death.
If you get the dipstick DO NOT keep it in the tube. The plastic piece will become brittle and break off in the tube. Keep the plug in the tube. Im paying the price. Learning how to drop the pan if it dosent come out in oil change
Have you ever considered a accusump install? Is it possible with this oil filter housing?
Thx for posting this, I'm just outside of AudiCare and this video convinced me to DIY and buy from DAP. One added tip - the new gasket inside the filter cap has a 2mm grab tab to make removal easily with needle nose pliers. Clever Germans thought of everything
Hello Deutsche. Very nice video. Do you know if an oil extractor / mitivac through dipstick would get most of the oil out? thanks
My same question. I used it on my Volvo c30 with good results. Seems alot easier than jacking the front of the car up and not actually getting a full drain. Glad I got my pump vacuum oil extraction oil pump. Not very cheep but well worth it.
Great video! Having an oil extractor really helps speed things up. You won't don't have to jack the car up or remove the belly pan.
Are you able to remove all the oil though?
Yes, my car has the 3.2L FSI which also holds 7 quarts and I always extract that amount.
I have a oil vacuum Extractor will it get 99 percent of oil out ? If the car is jacked up in the front it would make sense it would no completely drain. Why I'm asking if the vacuum pump extraction works better?
+1 I use the 12V extractor on my 3.0T A8L, always gets the full amount out.
Do you just run a hose down the dipstick hole?
can you guys make a video on how to clean the engine bay. Is there anything to cover up, except for an open intake. Thanks
Sina Moghbel I was just about to post the same. Please do!
Very easy! Don’t be afraid to wash it like you do on the outside. Bubble soap all over and wash it off
What are your thought of using the vacuum method of the oil out of the top. I have been doing that on my a7. Dealer said they do it that way also. When I asked which was better they said either way because the filter catches any debris your thoughts.
The link to your belly pan screws is a link to your website.
The description has a bunch of dead links. I understand most people already have a 36mm for axle nuts, as that's in my large socket drawer, but I'd like to know how much the belly pan screws or the dipstick are.
@Bob Saget I didn't need one since I already have that socket, if you can read, little boy.
@Bob Saget who begged for an answer? Like I need a tool I already own, you illiterate chode.
Great videos and simple to follow. I was wondering if you Can show how to replace the lower and upper oil pressure sensors in audi a6 3.0T!
Ordered the dipstick with the part # 06E-115-611-H in his link above for my 2010 Audi S4 and it works great and its accurate.would recommend if you need one.
tried same part # on Amazon DONT BUY it breaks
@@connerbilinski6750 so buy it from Amazon instead?
Hello! I just had a shop do an oil change on my b8 s4. They Filled it with M1 0w-40 oil. I thought they’d use 5w-40. Is this ok?
Is it safe to just put in 7 quarts or does it have to be exactly 6.6 like google says?
I have a b8 2011 s4
nigga didn’t even say the torque spec???
My car doesn’t have the oil level check or a dipstick. Tells me when I’m 1 litre low. Any idea what’s going on? It’s a 2009 S4
I did my oil change myself on my 2018 Audi S4 and now the system is telling me that I am at max oil level and i need to drain my oil. Also, now the car would not go into drive without warning signs? Whats you suggest.
LOL you drained the transmission fluid. And overfilled your engine with oil. You fucked up buddy.
@@dogchainsaw3923 that sounds like a nightmare
That engines are working in much higher temperatures than usualy and they need really good quality oils. Only PAO\Ester based oils have high enought high temperature resistance. HC-Synthese mineral oils like that Motul are coking and leave that orange\brown sludge inside of engine and a lot of carbon deposits in hottest engine places like piston rings. Thats not a good idea to use poor quality oil like this for this type of engines. That cars requires low SAPS oils as well. That MOTUL is a Full SAPS oil and kills the catalyst faster. I have no idea how it's possible that someone who have no idea about engines and oils can give advices.
Watching your car maintenance videos are so helpful, I am very appreciated. One more thing…your voice and handsome face is very like the 90s Actor of Armageddon, Steven Buscemi.
Do you need to replace the drain plug every time with the oil change? I do my services every half interval and Audicare takes care of the yearly service. I don't replace my drain plug but notice they do each service.
B8Addict you have to replace the crusher washer
D Phantom97 yup, that’s done every time for sure. But what about the drain plug?
B8Addict you don’t have to replace the drain plug every time no
Not the drain plug every time, but absolutely the crush washer.
Thanks for the tutorial! Bought a 2018 a6 and Audi wants good amount for the oil change!
Do it yourself. I been doing it with my 2015 q7 I also learned how to replace the spark plugs and supercharger belt. Do it!
Yeah, here in Australia Audi wants $600 aud (440 usd) for an oil change. No thanks, I'd rather do it myself.
trebor19418 here they want almost the same amount, but I got Castro edge and Mann filter for under 60 bucks for my oil change, is no different than any other car tbh.
Thoses expensive screw for the belly pan y can buy a bag of the them for less than 10euro and the same as the Audi ones
I Just picked up a s4 b8 and they claimed they put in castrol edge but I couldn't check the oil because it didn't come with a dip stick, Today I Finally got a dip stick after 500 miles and the oil looks dirty, is that normal? all the other cars the oil always looks clean for a long time, I'm thinking I might just redo it.
It takes 6.5L of engine oil. Not 7litre! >>nicht überfüllen!!
Really, my 2013 s4 needs 6.8l, I'm in Australia, maybe our cars have a deeper sump. Or maybe if you swap over the oil filter that holds 300 mil so I'm guessing thats were our differences varie.
I was about to post that. 7 US Quarts is correct.
Just did mine yesterday, 7 quarts, then the next day the mmi said I was a tad bit low. I checked the dipstick, it was fine. 2010 s4
Oil is sold by the quart in the USA. The oil capacity is 6.8 liters, probably without filter if it's like most factory specs. So yes, around 7 liters. Quit whining. I'm guessing you'll never do your own oil change anyhow.
@@tcolondovich2996 I own an Audi with the 3.0L supercharged (CAJA) engine and have done over a dozen oil/filter changes with most scrupulous care. The engine oil capacity is from the owner's manual and always confirmed by the factory fitted dipstick.
Hello thanks for this video, do you suggest engine flush for a 3.0 tfsi with 180.000 km?
Some of the links are bad
The dip stick...is it the same dipstick for al 3.0 Super charged engines regardless of fleet/model. As in A/Q/S series?
Is this the same method for an Audi A7 2017? Engine looks exactly the same
TheWiseGuy yes, if it is a 3.0 T engine is exactly the same thing
So how would you check the oil if you didn't have a dipstick?
Hey guys, isnt there supposed to go 5w-30 in? I think for my S5 it says it needs 5w-30?
I was looking for motul SPECIFIC 504 00 507 00 5W-30 for my car?
I use Motul 300 V 5w30 Ester core. 35 Us dollars 1liter here in Japan.
Better use 5w-40
how do you reset the oil interval warning? ross tech?
Yup!
Great video. Thank you.
Have you considered installing a Fumoto drain valve?
Seems like it would take car of all your issues while draining.
The link doesn’t work
Hi I have a question I have a 2011 Vw toureag with no dipstick where can I get one for it ty
Timothy Provencher go on eBay or amazon
Would Redline 5W40 be good for that engine or Motul 300V?
Probably any 5w40 that meets the government standard specs for that type of car.
Merci
So what's the purpose of dipstick less engine???let's let guess for epa rating??
It’s not completely without one...they come with a plastic plug in the dipstick tube opening. You can simply buy one, pull the plug, and drop it in. Just bought one myself as I did not want to rely on the sensor. But why they did not just include one, beats me!
is it normal for the oil cap to be a bit milky ?
Thats a sign of your coolant getting into your oil.. You should get it checked asap.
Will the 5w-40 be good for s4 2018? Or should I use 0w-20?
Follow the manual specifications. Don't just guess or assume.
You could damage the motor if you use too thin of an oil, like 20 weight, if it was intended to use 40 weight oil like my Audi S4 is. A thinner oil generally doesn't protect as well against metal on metal wear as a heavier oil, but can be necessary for various reasons. The number before the "w" just indicates the "winter" or cold viscosity before the oil is warmed up, relative to the oil weight (20, 30, or 40.) Too thick of an oil (if you used 90 weight gear oil for example,) would not splash around and penetrate enough to lubricate all the bearings and other surfaces that need oil. If it says "0w" before the oil weight, such as "0w40" that means it's the same weight when it's cold as when it's warmed up. It will be a much thinner oil in the jug at room temperature than 5w40 or 10w40. When warmed up they will be the same.
Where can I buy that oil fill funnel?
There's a link in the description
Anyone know the torque spec for the oil drain plug?
27 ft pounds
30 Nm which is 22 pound feet
Just ordered my oil kit from you and a new dipstick from you 👍
Was it good?
Katherine Flores very very good!
$11 per screw. You weren't kidding
That's why they sponsor things like this. Nobody would pay $11 per screw unless they were trying to support this channel.
Does this have carbon build up problems?
If you have that profile picture, you're too young for this discussion. Wait until you can drive.
Do the a6 3.0t have a drain plug for the oil? Some DIY oil vids tell you to suck the oil out through the dip stick hole.
I USED 5W30 WHY U USED 5W40 ?
Probably because Audi specs say to use 5w40. Maybe you should follow directions. Using too thin of an oil provides less protection for your motor.
Curious why you didn’t use a fluid extractor, which is what’s recommended by Audi?
+1
Moti - I was asking myself the same questions before I started using my extractor, but I was not able to find data proving what you state. An Audi technician told me it has been studied by Audi and no issues were found (I did not see that study so I cannot really approve / disapprove). Personally I can vacuum the whole 4.6L in my 2.0T A4. Same quantity as draining. I do it when the oil is at operating temperature, so everything is well mixed and hot. And if the oil filter is doing its job properly, I don't see why it would be a problem. I'd be curious in seeing a real study with real data.
Moti 604 also install a Fumoto oil drain plug way better just flick the ball switch. Used in last two vehicles and in my 15 WRX w top mount super accessible oil filter it was awesome.
What version of the Fumoto for the S4?
Fluid extractor is nice to have and do maybe every other oil change. Reason is because it does not extract all the dirt/buildup/shavings (if any). When you drain it from the bottom, you are ensuring the above is being drained out with the oil.
After an oil change is it normal on first start up to hear alot of chain rattle for 3 seconds?
Yes, it's normal, oil lifters have been drained so they need time for the new oil to make its way to them to lube the chain.
Thanks for doing the video. I've learned that I need to use 50200 oil for my car and I just placed an order!
Thanks for the order. We appreciate it very much!
Im confused because the Audi website says this engine is on the 508.00 standard which is a 0w-20 oil...

Not the best choice on the oil .. I’d go with AMS oil , in every test came on top of everyone. Motul is overrated
Pinto Motul is great oil, as is Amsoil. Tomato, potato.
