How many liters of engine oil does the Q5L require?

[LeElliot]

q5l requires approximately 4.7 liters of engine oil. Below is relevant information about the Q5L: 1. Positioning: The all-new Audi Q5L was officially launched by FAW-Volkswagen on July 6, 2018, in Anlong, Guizhou. It is the first comprehensively upgraded long-wheelbase premium midsize SUV, with a total of 6 models available, priced between 392,800 and 517,000 yuan. 2. Powertrain: The all-new Audi Q5L features a newly upgraded powertrain combination, equipped with the third-generation EA888 engine (available in two versions: 2.0T high and low power, with the high-power version delivering a maximum power of 185kW and peak torque of 370Nm), a newly developed 7-speed Stronic 'sports car-grade' transmission, and the quattro ultra intelligent all-wheel-drive system.

Last time I accompanied my friend to get his Audi Q5L serviced, and I watched as the technician added 5.2 liters of engine oil. The technician mentioned that 2.0T engines generally require between 5 to 5.5 liters, depending on how thoroughly the old oil was drained. My friend's car had 30,000 kilometers on it, and the technician added an extra 0.3 liters when replacing the oil filter. Important reminder: don't drive off immediately after adding oil. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes before turning it off, then wait another ten minutes to check the dipstick for an accurate reading. Personally, I always let the dashboard oil level detection run for three minutes after each oil change to be safe, as overfilling can damage the catalytic converter.

As someone who frequently works on German cars, the amount of oil to add to the Q5L mainly depends on the engine model. The third-generation EA888 generally requires just over 5 liters. For newer models with GPF, it's best to refer to the manual. I've seen shops pour in a full 5-liter container for convenience, only to find the dipstick showing an overfill. The correct method is to add 4.8 liters first, run the engine for three minutes to circulate the oil, then shut it off and wait ten minutes before topping up gradually based on the electronic dipstick until it shows the middle position. Actually, the maintenance manual is tucked away in the glovebox compartment—pulling it out for reference is the most accurate.

Our Q5L just had its maintenance, and the technician said that if the oil is drained completely, adding 5 liters is just right. However, an additional 200ml needs to be topped up each time a new filter is replaced. Remember to ask the mechanic to replace the oil pan screw with a magnetic one. The oil filler port is on the left side of the engine, and using a funnel is recommended to avoid spills. When the engine is cold, the dipstick marks the MAX and MIN lines, and filling to two-thirds between these lines is ideal. It's suggested to check the dipstick every 2,000 kilometers, and if it's found below the MIN line, top up half a liter promptly.

Last year when changing the oil for my Q5L, I noticed a detail: the oil capacity actually varies between different model years. According to the maintenance manual, 5.2 liters was sufficient for pre-2019 models, but post-2020 models require 5.5 liters due to the upgraded particulate filter. I watched the entire oil pouring process closely—the mechanic used a graduated measuring container and added the oil in three stages: first pouring 4 liters to start the engine and let the oil pump circulate, then topping up with 1 liter until the dipstick showed the correct level, and finally adding the last 0.5 liters to finish. The key is to use the manufacturer-recommended 0W-20 grade—mixing with other specifications can damage the engine.
