Engine oil — change (Audi 80 B4)

Gasoline engines

AUDI prescribes a mala change every 15,000 km and once a year. We consider such an interval to be limiting. If the car is used exclusively in urban areas, the replacement of the mala should be carried out after four months. When using single-season oil, it must be changed in spring and autumn.

The oil change should be carried out with the engine warmed up to operating temperature, so that all accumulated contaminants can be removed with the used oil.

Diesel engines

AUDI 80 TD up to 6/92

It is recommended to change the oil once a year if the mileage is less than 7500 km. With a higher mileage - every 7500 km.

AUDI 80 TD since 7/92 AUDI 80 TDI

It is recommended to change the oil once a year if the mileage is no more than 15,000 km. With a higher mileage - every 15,000 km of run.

To change the oil you need:

• A) engine oil of the appropriate specification,
• b) new gasket for the drain plug,
• V) fuel filter according to engine type (056115561 G - for 4-cylinder engines, 035115561 - for 5-cylinder engines and 034115561 A - for six-cylinder engines, 028115561 - for diesel engines),
• G) container for collecting used oil,
• d) wrench to remove the oil filter.

Change of oil

1. Install the car on the goats in a horizontal position or in a viewing hole.

2. Remove the engine mudguard.

3. Place a container under the drain hole in the pan to collect the used oil.

4. Unscrew the drain plug with a crochet wrench and drain the oil (see arrow in illustration).



5. Place a container under the oil filter to collect the oil.


6. Remove the oil filter using an oil filter wrench. If the filter is difficult to pierce, then punch it from the side with a screwdriver, and then remove it with a screwdriver (see illustration).

Attention! Be careful. The oil is hot!

7. Lubricate the O-ring of the new oil filter with a thin layer of grease.

Attention! Do not oil the ring. When checking for tightness, the oil that comes out can be mistaken for leakage of engine oil.

8. Screw in the filter by hand.

9. Wipe the drain plug and screw it into place, installing a new o-ring.
10. Fill with new engine oil.

11. Start the engine and visually check the system for leaks.
