What is the oil capacity of the Audi Q5 in liters?
2 Answers
The oil capacity of the Audi Q5 is 4.5L. When adding oil, the amount should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick, and it should not be overfilled. The domestically produced FAW Audi Q5 uses the EA888 series 2.0T engine, and the original Audi oil used by 4S shops is SM-grade full synthetic oil with a viscosity rating of 5W-40. Overfilling the oil can affect the operation of the catalytic converter, increase pressure on the seals, and cause excessive agitation of the crankshaft and connecting rod big end during engine operation. This not only increases internal power loss but also leads to more oil splashing onto the cylinder walls, resulting in oil burning issues.
Last year when I took my Audi Q5 to the repair shop for maintenance, I specifically asked about the oil capacity. The mechanic said it's approximately 6.5 liters, depending on the engine model – for example, that's the standard value for the 2.0T engine. I made a mental note of this figure because it directly affects engine longevity – too little oil causes component wear, while overfilling leads to excessive internal pressure and damage. During oil changes, I usually buy a full 5-liter container plus a small bottle to top it up, ensuring I don't exceed the recommended level. Regular maintenance not only saves money but also keeps the car running smoothly. I recommend checking the oil level every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers to avoid unexpected issues.
