What oil grade is suitable for the Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5 is more suitable with 5W40 grade oil. Engine oil can lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and cushion shocks. When changing the oil, choose the appropriate oil according to your needs. Taking the Audi Q5 2018 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4629 mm, width 1898 mm, height 1655 mm, wheelbase 2807 mm, and fuel tank capacity 75 liters. The Audi Q5 2018 model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 169 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm.
I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years and always use 5W-40 full synthetic oil, which feels perfect. Audi officially recommends engine oil that meets the VW 502.00 standard, with viscosity between 5W-30 or 5W-40. I use Castrol Edge, which makes the engine quieter and improves power response. The reason is that the Q5's engine has a sporty design with high compression ratio requiring high-viscosity protection, especially during hot weather or aggressive driving to prevent wear. I maintain an oil change interval around 8,000 km to extend engine life. Avoid using low-quality oil or randomly mixing brands, as it may cause carbon buildup or increased fuel consumption. Remember to check the owner's manual for specific specifications.
