The Audi A4 2.0T requires 5 liters of engine oil. The 2.0T version of the Audi A4 is equipped with the EA888 engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This engine has a maximum power output of 150 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. Additionally, the engine features mixed injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with an iron cylinder block. The Audi A4 is a mid-range sedan with body dimensions of 4762 mm in length, 1847 mm in width, and 1436 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2825 mm.

I've been driving this Audi A4 2.0T for over three years and always supervise the mechanics during oil changes. It usually takes around 4.7-5.2 liters, depending on the oil drainage method. For gravity drainage, 5 liters is the safe bet; if using an oil extractor for more thorough removal, it might require up to 5.2 liters. The key is to run the engine for five minutes after the oil change, then turn it off and wait two minutes before checking the dipstick. The ideal oil level is slightly above the midpoint between the min and max marks - never exceed the max line, as it can cause engine sluggishness and damage the catalytic converter. There might be slight variations among different model years of the EA888 engine, with post-2020 versions being closer to exactly 5 liters.

Why Is There Still a Charge for the Free First Maintenance?

First maintenance is not entirely free because not all services are included in the complimentary offer. The free items during the first maintenance are fixed, typically covering only engine oil and oil filter replacement. Services like engine cleaning or additional inspections incur charges. To avoid paying during the first maintenance, you can decline any extra services recommended by the 4S dealership. New cars usually come with a free first maintenance service, and some brands even offer the first two services for free. The complimentary maintenance items provided by 4S dealerships are specific—for example, the first maintenance is recommended when the car reaches 5,000 to 7,000 kilometers. Since the car has just completed its break-in period, only an oil and oil filter change is usually necessary. After the oil change, impurities generated during the break-in period inside the engine are effectively removed, allowing the engine to operate in better condition.

How to Report a Traffic Violation Vehicle?

There are three channels to report a traffic violation vehicle: 1. Call the traffic violation hotline 122; 2. Log in to the serious traffic violation reporting section on the local traffic website; 3. Mail a letter to the Traffic Management Bureau's Order Department. According to regulations, for a single violation, more than three images should be taken, with the pictures ideally reflecting the entire process of the violation. The images should clearly capture the surrounding environment, such as road signs, service area markers, and obvious landmarks. When submitting a report, it is also necessary to inform the traffic police department of the direction of travel and confirm the time the images were taken.

What Does Dual Clutch in Cars Mean?

Dual clutch in cars refers to a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which has two clutches—one controlling the odd-numbered gears and the other controlling the even-numbered gears. It is both a manual transmission and an automatic transmission, combining the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while providing uninterrupted power output. The dual clutch acts as a switch for power transmission between the engine and the transmission. The primary function of a dual clutch is to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce the impact load on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent the drivetrain from overloading. When using a dual-clutch transmission, it is advisable to frequently engage the manual mode, as the dual clutch has a memory programming feature. Regular use of manual mode allows the transmission to develop a memory effect and operate based on this memorized pattern, which helps reduce shift frequency and lowers the probability of malfunctions.

Can the ETC card still be charged after being removed?

ETC card can still be charged after being removed. You must remove the entire ETC device from the vehicle; simply removing the card is not enough. Otherwise, when passing through the gantry on the highway, it will still be detected and charged, leading to duplicate fees. This is because the gantry exchanges data with the OBU (On-Board Unit), so whether the card is inserted or not does not affect the charging process when passing through the gantry. The correct way to enter the highway after removing the card is to use the manual lane, take a toll card, and then, when exiting the highway, still use the manual lane. At this point, you need to remove the ETC card and hand it to the staff for payment. It is important to note that if the entire device is removed, it will trigger the anti-tamper switch, causing the OBU device to become inactive. To continue using it, reactivation will be required. If you want to enter or exit the highway via the ETC lane, the card must be inserted. Without the card inserted, the ETC entrance will not recognize the vehicle information, and the barrier will not automatically lift.

How to Remedy 12 Points Deducted for Speeding?

Remedial measures for deducting 12 points due to speeding are: 1. The motor vehicle driver must, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security organ where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred; 2. After completing the study session, the vehicle management office must conduct a road traffic safety law, regulation, and related knowledge test within 20 days; 3. If the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned. If the test is failed, the driver must continue to participate in study sessions and retake the test. The hazards of speeding include: 1. Accelerating the wear and tear of vehicle components, shortening their service life; 2. Affecting the operational stability of the vehicle; 3. Reducing the driver's reaction time.

What Happens If You Put Diesel in a Gasoline Car?

Putting diesel in a gasoline car can clog the fuel injectors. Since the fuel injection pressure in gasoline engines is much lower than in diesel engines, the diesel fuel cannot be fully atomized and thus cannot burn completely. Additionally, diesel has a lower ignition point, meaning it can auto-ignite before the gasoline engine's spark plugs fire, causing abnormal cylinder pressure, commonly known as engine knocking. If knocking is detected while driving, you should stop the car immediately and avoid further driving, as continued operation can damage the fuel system or even lead to engine failure. In such cases, arrange for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a repair shop, where the diesel can be drained and replaced with gasoline. If you realize you've added the wrong fuel after driving for some time, it's still crucial to seek immediate repairs. The diesel should be drained, the fuel filter replaced, and the fuel tank and fuel lines thoroughly cleaned. A comprehensive inspection of the entire fuel system is also necessary.
