Replacing Engine Oil and Oil Filter

Model: Audi A4 B5 - Years 1994-2000
Part: Engine oil

Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and inspect it for any anomalies: oil leaks, rust, broken bushings, boots, or hoses, as well as wear on brakes and tires. Position a suitable container (approximately 5 qt) under the oil pan, unscrew the plug (located on the rear left corner) to allow the old oil to drain; at the same time, use a wrench to unscrew the oil filter (located next to the oil pan).
Once the draining is complete, screw the plug back in (replacing the copper washer if necessary) and install the new filter after applying oil to the gasket (hand-tightening is sufficient).
Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the owner's manual.
