It is not necessary to warm up the car after adding engine oil, but it is required before changing the engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperature; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and parts; 4. To buffer the pressure rise in the engine cylinder port; 5. To flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts. The characteristics indicating the need for an oil change are: 1. Check the viscosity of the engine oil—if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be changed; 2. The color of the oil turns black; 3. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil; 4. The smell of the oil is abnormal.

Inspect the oil pipes for cracks, the pressure relief valve for sticking, and the oil filter for blockages; 4. Check the oil pump for wear.

How to Turn Off the Engine Start-Stop Function?

To turn off the engine start-stop function, simply press the automatic start-stop switch located on the center console. The switch is a mechanical button featuring a capital letter A surrounded by an arrow ring. The primary purpose of this feature is to save energy and reduce exhaust pollution. By disabling the automatic start-stop, drivers can have better control over the vehicle. The engine automatic start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. This system is implemented by integrating an enhanced motor with idle start-stop capability into a traditional engine. When the vehicle meets the idle stop conditions, the engine completely shuts down. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's command, restarting the engine instantly for seamless transition.

What is the Audi model without a badge at the rear?

It can only be identified by its exterior appearance. Whether it's the smallest A1 model or the highest-performance R8, whether it's the extended L model or the performance RS model, all Audi vehicles have model badges at the rear. Generally, the absence of a rear badge is due to the owner's pursuit of individuality by deliberately removing it. Additional information: To determine the model, you can also check the vehicle's frame number. The frame number is very important, as it, along with the engine number, is required when registering the vehicle. If you cannot locate the frame number during registration, you can seek assistance from the vehicle registration office staff. The car engine number contains relevant signals about the engine, while the car's frame number is called the VIN code, which is equivalent to a car's ID number. Each vehicle's frame number is unique.
