How much engine oil should be added to an Audi R8?
1 Answers
Audi R8 maintenance requires adding 10 liters of 5W40 full synthetic engine oil. Precautions for changing engine oil are as follows: 1. Pay attention to the timing of oil changes: The timing for oil changes is generally based on mileage and time. For example, conventional mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or six months, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers. 2. Be mindful of the amount of oil added: The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick, and avoid overfilling. Engine oil is extremely important for engine operation as it serves the dual functions of lubrication and heat dissipation. Therefore, the engine must never run without oil, but excessive oil can have adverse consequences. Too much oil increases the crankshaft's rotational resistance, reduces engine output power, and the excess oil can enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emissions, and increased fuel consumption.
