Where is the oil drain plug for the Audi Q5?
1 Answers
The oil drain plug for the Audi Q5 is located on the oil pan. Introduction to the oil drain plug: The oil drain plug is a screw located at the bottom of the engine oil pan. When performing an oil change during engine maintenance, this screw is loosened to drain the old engine oil, and then tightened back before adding new oil through the engine's oil filler port. Introduction to the oil drain plug washer: The oil drain plug washer should not be reused. The washer serves as a seal, and the most commonly used washers are aluminum washers. Since aluminum is softer than steel, when the screw is tightened, the aluminum washer deforms to fill gaps. However, a used washer has already been deformed during previous installation, making its internal structure denser. Reusing it makes it difficult to compress and deform again, thus failing to provide a proper seal. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the washer during every oil change.
