Audi A6 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Oil filter
Operation: Engine oil and filter replacement

Replacing the engine oil and its filter is definitely the first maintenance you learn to do by yourself, but it is recommended to take care to dispose of the exhausted ones correctly. Before performing the oil change, the video also shows the use of an additive for cleaning the oil circuit which must be added before draining the oil by leaving the engine running for about 20 minutes; it is a detergent based on specific surfactants for the removal of deposits accumulated between one service coupon and the next: the writer does not recommend this solution as the detachment of large deposits could obstruct the circuit rather than clean it; if you want to avoid the formation of deposits, anticipate maintenance. Having said this, intercept the oil filter seat which is located immediately below the intake manifold and unscrew the plastic cap, extract the old cartridge and insert that egg by replacing the o-rings as well. Then access the oil pan to unscrew the drain plug and drain the used oil; finally, fill the engine with new oil until the maximum level is reached.
