How many liters of engine oil should be added to an Audi A6 2.5L?

Audi A6 2.5L requires 6.5 liters of engine oil. Engine oil change intervals: Different types of engine oil have different change cycles. Mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers or 6 months, and full synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months. Functions of engine oil: Lubrication and friction reduction ensure smooth operation of components without friction, cleaning and dispersion, cooling and heat dissipation to assist component cooling, sealing and leak prevention, corrosion protection to prevent components from being corroded by air and water, engine protection, and shock absorption to reduce pressure impact on engine cylinder ports.
I've driven a 2012 Audi A6 with the 2.5L engine version, which requires about 5.7 liters of oil during regular oil changes, depending on the model year. I prefer doing it myself—buying a 5-liter jug of synthetic oil usually isn't enough, so I need to top it up. The key is using the correct oil specification, like 0W-40, which offers excellent engine protection. While changing the oil, I also replace the oil filter, which costs around a few dozen yuan, to avoid clogging from impurities. After starting the engine post-change, I wait a few minutes to check the dipstick, ensuring the level is at the midpoint—overfilling wastes fuel and contaminates the system. At dealerships, they always remind you to test-drive after topping up to prevent warning lights mid-trip. Regular maintenance is crucial: changing oil every 5,000 km or six months extends engine life and saves on major repair costs.
