Audi A4L requires 5 liters of engine oil. The 2.0T engine is designed to reduce oil consumption, and under normal maintenance conditions, the 2.0T engine needs 5 liters of oil. It is best to drain the old oil completely before adding new oil. Here are some relevant details: Precautions for adding engine oil: During maintenance, the Audi A4L requires 5 liters of engine oil. Before adding new oil, it is advisable to drain the old oil completely. Initially, add 4.5 liters of oil, then warm up the engine. After warming up, turn off the engine and wait for five minutes before adding the remaining 0.5 liters of oil. While adding oil, monitor the oil level carefully to ensure it does not exceed the recommended limit. Effects of too much or too little oil: Adding too little or too much oil can affect the engine's performance, potentially leading to increased fuel consumption, louder engine noise, and even causing the engine to burn oil.
I've been driving an Audi A4L for several years and often change the engine oil myself, which feels quite hassle-free. Generally, the oil capacity ranges between 4.5 to 5.5 liters, depending on the engine model. For example, my 2019 2.0T requires about 5 liters. I always use the original 5W-40 full synthetic oil, starting with 4 liters and checking the dipstick level while adding more—keeping it in the middle is ideal. Don't overfill, as excess oil increases engine resistance and raises fuel consumption; nor should you underfill, as insufficient lubrication can cause engine overheating. The first time I messed up by overfilling, the engine made loud noises at startup, so I quickly drained the excess. I recommend beginners start with a 5-liter bottle and recheck the oil level after driving a kilometer or two post-change—it’s more reliable. Regular oil checks are crucial to avoid major repairs.
