Oil Change on Audi Q5 3.0

Model: Audi Q5 MK 1, 8R - Years 2008-2017
Part: Engine oil

For this car model, it is recommended to use advanced synthetic oil for engines 0W-40. Lift the front left side of the car with a jack. Position yourself under the car and unscrew the plastic cover that prevents access to the engine oil compartment using a T20 Torx wrench. Place a large enough drain pan under the compartment and unscrew the bolt that serves as the drain plug with a T40 Torx wrench. Collect the used oil in the pan and tighten the plug with the bolt. Now move to work from the hood: unscrew the fill cap and add the same amount of new oil as the oil that was drained.
