2 Answers
Audi genuine 5w40 engine oil is fully synthetic. Below is a detailed description about 5w-40 engine oil: 1. Audi genuine 5W40 engine oil is fully synthetic, with a replacement interval of every 10,000 kilometers. This oil has six major functions: lubrication, cleaning, sealing, cooling, rust prevention, and cushioning. It boasts excellent versatility, being fully compatible with all Audi engines and suitable for both gasoline and diesel vehicles. It is an all-season oil, suitable for most regions in China. 2. The amount of oil used varies depending on the engine type and displacement. Generally, a four-cylinder (1.4T) engine uses 4 liters of oil, a four-cylinder (1.8T/2.0T) uses 5 liters, a six-cylinder (2.4/2.5/2.8/3.0) uses 7-8 liters, and engines with more than six cylinders use 9-12 liters. However, these figures are for reference only, and the actual amount may vary depending on specific conditions. The amount of oil can also be affected by how thoroughly the old oil is drained.
After driving my Audi A6 for so many years, I've always used the original 5w40 engine oil. Based on my experience and research, it is indeed a fully synthetic oil. Audi engines are precision-made, and fully synthetic oil provides better lubrication and thermal protection, especially reducing wear during high-temperature, high-speed operation. When choosing oil, I always check if it meets the VW 502.00 standard—the original oil meets this, and the label clearly states 'fully synthetic technology.' In practical use, it flows quickly at low temperatures, ensuring smooth starts in winter, and can extend the oil change interval to around 10,000 kilometers. Proper maintenance saves a lot of hassle, so I recommend verifying the packaging information during each service to avoid counterfeit products. Overall, this oil is a perfect match for Audi cars—it protects the engine and enhances performance.
