- How do you change your oil?
In the video, I’m showing you how to change the oil on a 2006 Audi A6 with a 2.0-liter engine. When I change the oil on a customer’s vehicle, it’s usually not just draining and refill. It usually takes a complete inspection to make sure the customer is safe on the road.

For whoever is watching this, he's using the wrong oil. Factory Specs says Castrol Edge 5w40, NOT 5w30! It's on the hood tag and your oil cap literally says (Castrol) in it!. Also always fill about half of the filter housing with your new oil after replacing your filter and before installing it back. Lastly, never ever refill your brake fluid, unless you got a real problem, it's a bit low bc the pads are worn. Anyhow, he's got some of it right...
Thanks for your comment. This customer specifically asked for 5w30 since 5w40 makes the engine noisy. As far as a tag, where exactly is that tag that says 5w40? When I tried to find Audi specs for this car, all I found was that you need to use "VW 502 00" spec oil.
Factory recommended specs, but you can use whatever you want. I personally use 5W-40
I use Motul H-TECH Prime 5w40 oil in my Audi and it's running fine. I wouldn't worry too much about brands. Who knows how much Castrol paid for the privilege

@@AutoTechWorld_DIY My owners manual states VW504 00 and 5w 30. I use Shell VW 504 00 - 0w30 just for that better flow rate when its cold. Thanks for that tip with the service light, ive been using a odb11 and it costs me 10 credits each time! All I had to do was hold the spanner butter and hit the 0s. Brilliant!
You don't just "top off" your brake fluid.
If it's just slightly low, just leave it. Some of it gets drawn into the calipers as the brakes wear and the piston moves out further. And it will return to the reservoir when you reset the piston to replace the pads. If you top it off in between you'll overflow your reservoir with the next brakejob.
If it's severely low there is a leak that needs fixing.
Also normally you just replace an air-filter. The one in the video looks like a reusable K&N unit, but the stock filters just get replaced.
And your powersteering being low should also make you suspicious. It is a closed system and shouldn't lose any meaningful amount. Of course if it's the first time in 10 years you take a look it might be slightly low, but if you have to regularly add fluid there is a bad seal and you have to replace it.
Your drainplug has a specified torque it is supposed to be tightened to. With those weak aluminum oil-pans I would suggest using a torquewrench. They strip out way to easy.
The old-school filter-tool on the plastic filter-housing is kind of dangerous as well. If you damage one of those old can-style filters you just throw it away, but this housing needs to go back onto the car.
I would also suggest under-filling the engine oil by 250-500 mL. It's much easier to just pour another gulp of oil in than it is to drain some if you accidentally put in to much.
The oil-level should be checked with the engine at operating temperature, normally it doesn't make a huge difference, but something to keep in mind.
Thank you for taking your time and leaving a very detailed comment. I guess always things to keep in mind 👍
Thank you. After watching this well laid out service demo I feel much more confident about owning my (New to me ) Avant. Again Thanks :-)
Happy to help you out at the end of the year. God bless and happy new year.
Awesome I just picked one up. I like the small details you checked for. Good reminders
Thanks. Good luck with it. Maintenance is key to long live 👌
Informative video! Well done
Thanks. That's the goal.
God bless you.
Just wanted to see if there was any surprises since I own Japan cars and want to service one of these Krauts for a friend and got a throwback to my daily routine haha Thanks Bro! 🤟
Hey, your welcome. Have fun! The oil filter is a dirty mess.
Mobil 1 0-40w euro spec.Recomended for Porsche 911 turbo,Mercedes 3 litre twin turbo.
Good enough for those cars good enough for my Audi A4 2.0.I buy it when it comes on sale at Walmart or Canadian Tire.Typically pay $ 34-36 for 5 litres.I use it in everything,even my 2001 Taurus 3 litre dohc.
Still purrs like a kitten,no leaks!
👍
Hello, thank you for this really detailed video, without you I would have had no clue at all. I have changed to oil according to this video, but my issue is that a bit of oil is dripping when my car is parked, about 2-3 medium sized drops over 8 hours, which seems to get less every time, I also checked that the oil is full. The thing is, the cap for the oil filter was extremely tight and we had remove it with two hands, filter has been changed which looked a bit different than the original one, but that should not cause the leak (or does it?). We have also put oil on the sealing for the oil filter cap and then screwed it in just like you did, the little hanging plastic thing that should supposed to be at the tip of the oil filter cap has not been attached though, but this does not seem to be necessary. Do you think the thread might be loose and the cause of the oil dripping? It's definitly dripping from that area. Thank you in advance, I hope you can help me.
It definitely wouldn't hurt to check the bolt. Or maybe just some oil that collected somewhere and it's now leaking out slowly 🤷♂️
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY Thank you for the quick response, I really appreciate your help man. Means a lot.
Thanks. I hope it works out for you.
Pretty good video, only thing I'd like to add is that you really should be using 5w 40 which is what VW/Audi recommends
Thank you for your nice and respectful comment.
This depends on market and audi model. In my country recommendation is 5W30 for this car. Tough if you know about oil viscosity, 5W40 is superior to 5W30. When coldstarting they are the same, they both act same as a SAE5 oil. When engine is hot and oil also 40 oil is thicker than 30 oil The second number tells the hot viscosity. So if you live in a cold country it doesn't really matter, but if you live in a hot place 40 oil will be better, especially with a turbocharged engine. It will protect the engine better in hot conditions. This is to accoount for normal driving.
If we go to a race track you shouldn't use either of these oils, but maybe this is not the most reasonable discussion with a stock looking car. On a track you would probabaly use 5W50 or 10W60.
And it should have the Audi approved number which is VW 502 00. I think that is the only thing Audi specifically requires.
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY good point, tbh I don't always 5w 40 sometimes I'll use 0w 40
Great video
Thank you. 🙏
You could just pull the inspection Off the brake reservoir to check the fluid that we are not rocking back and forth in cold weather it will break it
Good point 👍
Thank you for making a video
You're welcome. Hopefully it helps 👌
You forgot to check the blinker-fluids. Very important!
Yes I did forget. Good thing you know what you're doing, so you'll check it on yours. 😉
I'll give you sum blinker fluid...
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY5:05
I use 5w40 Castrol edge on my B7 S4. Never heard of using 5w30, but as long as it meets the correct
requirement's it shouldn't be a problem.
👍 that's right
Invest $20 in a filter housing drain tool. Will save you from spilling oil all over the car.
I should maybe look into it. Thanks for commenting 👍
or just use a plastic bag and put it around the housing when removing.
I guess that's an idea 👍
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY just make sure there's no holes ;)
@@BenState Just realised your name. That's what it would be if the bag had a hole, major disaster 😂😂
The oil drain plug has a copper crush washer that needs to be replaced every oil change. Or at least it should.
Not a bad idea anyways 👍
Insta sub here very good video.
Cool! Thank you very much
5w40 Millers/Motul/liqui moly recommended for this engine.
That is an opinion, not a recommendation by the vehicle manufacturer. Audi has got their own oil they sell in VW branded jugs if we start splitting hair. :)
Thank you 👍
I guess all these companys do have an approval from Audi. But many more do, including what I'm using.
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY it's more about 5w40 thing than 5w30 for better lubricant in higher temperatures for turbocharger. But well.
Never seen an air filter that dirty on a car.
Yeah that one is pretty dirty 🙈.
Thanks for watching 🙏
You sound Like Dominik Sky!🗣️💯
Oh really? Is it that work out guy? Couldn't, tell.
Exactly!💪👍
Haha that's funny
it has 5w-40 on the hood
👍
Shouldn't we use API SN?
It just needs to be a VW 502 00 approved oil.
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY the idea is im using an oil approved with the VW 502 00
I changed my car engine and the turbo from a little while ago about 3 months after the first oil change i did white smoke started to come out when i stop at a red light and especially when the is worm before the oil change there was nothing like that
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY that's why im saying API SN because im thing to use since it's special for turbo charger engine
Fucking thank you so so much m8. Fucking wasn't looking forward to ab uninformed service...
You're welcome. I wish you a plenty nice day.
Nice but why are you using so poor quality oil and why you leave all that leaked out oil instead of cleaning that parts?
That's what I usually get. But your right, I should probably get better oil for my customers. The oil leak is so bad, it takes a couple days and it's back to this dirty.
Audi b7's dont have an oil pressure light
It's just an oil level low light then eh?
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY Yep. Kinda crazy.
It’s an oil change video not a window wash fluid video jesus
Haha. Yeah, most of it.
You never fil the oil to max my friend.If you pour to much oil the engine makes bubbles in the oil and the oil viscosity will degrade and your engine will suffer. I use Ravenol engine oil or castrol from Germany if i can find not the cheap turkish castrol that you can find anywhere.
Thank you very much for commenting. So would you say that staying within manufacturer specification is to much?
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY the oil level has to be between min and max. Just like the coolant level
Yeah I see what you mean. Just rewatched it. It's right at max.
Good observation 👍
I don’t believe it. Why would your engine preform better with less oil than recommend? If anything your engine will wear out quicker.
@@90STALGIA Nagy is correct. Too much even a little over max is much worse than being at minimum or even a touch below it for a short time.
was gonna say great video.... until you told tons of non mechanics to top off brake fluid ._.
I guess your not the first to mention that. But thanks anyways for watching and pointing that out.
God bless you.
@@AutoTechWorld_DIY I did enjoy the video. Rest of the advice is great, however brake fluid is a visual indicator as to brake pad life
clown no body topsoff brake fluid. it goes low indicating breaks wore down. engine oil is 5W-40 or 0w-40
🤡
Keep the oil, change the car....
👍
