What brand of engine oil is used in the Audi Q7?
2 Answers
Audi Q7 uses original 0W30 engine oil. During each oil change, approximately 7 liters of engine oil should be added to the Audi Q7. Be careful not to overfill the engine oil, as excessive oil can increase engine load and affect performance. Here is some information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is the lubricant used in engines, composed of base oil and additives. 2. With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of the car.
The Audi Q7 recommends using synthetic oil that meets the VW 502 00 or 508 00 standards. Specific brand recommendations include Castrol Edge or Mobil 1, which are German-certified oils. I've been driving the Q7 for several years and have always insisted on using this type of oil because its viscosity, such as 0W-20, ensures excellent engine protection during cold starts, preventing wear or increased fuel consumption. The manual clearly states that the standards must be checked and not to use ordinary oil casually, otherwise the turbocharger may be damaged, leading to costly and time-consuming repairs. I've also noticed that regular oil changes every 8,000 kilometers are crucial for extending engine life. Shell Helix Ultra is also very popular on the market, offering reasonable prices and stable performance—Audi's precision engineering requires this kind of care. Overall, putting a bit more thought into oil selection ensures the Q7 runs smoothly and effortlessly.
