[@Mikotiini]

Great thing about the 2.0 TFSI is that you don't have to change the oil, you just add it!

[@edgarjovanovski7384]

+Mikotiini tell me about it.. insane amount of oil whent missing

[@SuperE1976]

And not too little. My a4 bj 2010, 196000km, needs almost 2liter / 100km Time to say goodbye ...

[@mannyfit7642]

Mikotiini lol im taking mine in for oil consumption recall. Crazy amounts of oil burning

[@bubbly871]

I must've gotten lucky! No oil burning on mine

[@abdeazizmechi5135]

Mikotiini is the 1.8 tfsi consume oil too?

[@noahbond7006]

Always always make sure you check oil level to be sure you got enough oil in the engine. Don't just assume about 4.9 quarts is fine and you're done. The 2.0 doesn't have a dipstick so go into your MMI screen and select oil level, then make sure the oil level bar is full. Very easy to do and it saves you a lot of frustration.

[@jakehwang3215]

question, If you overfilled? How do you know and how to check?

[@jessieismyfriend]

you can purchase dipsticks for these at auto part store........ theres' a place in front for the dipstick, remove cap insert stick.

[@ernesthemingway2013]

the location of the oil filter in this engine is specially designed to prevent oil spills, you just have to unscrew it and lift it vertically. No need for a rag.

[@robertcante]

this is very helpful, im getting ready to do my oil change on my A4 and i needed this to confirm all the steps. thank you again! :)

[@EverydayDoIt]

You're Welcome!

[@luisvlogs5560]

thsnk you so much everyone always talks shit about how hard it is and expensive oil changes are but you sir are a life changer

[@keilynnburkes5177]

You were one of the best DIY videos I watched.

[@EverydayDoIt]

Thank you!

[@mikeperry6664]

The one thing I would also do is replace the crush washer for the drain plug. On Porsche it is mandatory to do so. I would highly recommend this addition to your video.

[@yippeethreeeight]

That's what I came to this video to learn about. No mention.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I don't think you're supposed to use a wrench/tool when tightening the new filter. Hand tighten only is what I was always told.

[@EverydayDoIt]

Thanks FastRed. I believe you are right.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

RRAS Tutorials yeah only reason I mention it is because on some cars, the filter will tighten significantly more on it's own (not exactly sure how) and I have had to resort to jamming a long flat head screwdriver THROUGH an oil filter to remove it. Strap wrenches wouldn't fit in the small space and the socket wrench attachement that slips over on top of the filter just stripped the grooves on the end of the filter so that was useless. It was to the point where dremeling the filter into pieces was going to be the only remaining option. It got that way because the previous person who did the oil change used the oil filter wrench socket and a BREAKER bar to tighten the thing :o

[@morpheus232001]

FastRedPonyCar Damn! Overkill. LoL

[@FastRedPonyCar]

morpheus232001 desperate times calls for desperate measures! lol. It's actually not an uncommon trick believe it or not.

[@alancaballero4092]

Take off the oil fill cap to allow air in the engine and drain faster. You can get OEM filters from ECS Tuning for ~$12.

[@CarSteve]

Awesome video and GREAT oil choice. It's nice to see people do a good job. I agree the Mann filter for this engine on amazon looks like oem.

[@EverydayDoIt]

Thanks!

[@mrvission7]

Good show from beginning to end thanks.

[@shastaweston]

What's with all the dislikes, very good video and easy to see and follow

[@el9delcielo]

Awesome! I'm def trying this. I have a 2010 Q5 and the dealer (Manhattan audi) wants around $300 to change the oil!

[@catrachan]

You should do one showing how to change the transmission fluid for an automatic :p

[@LeeHoMusic]

great job thanks for the video, very helpful!

[@duncan55660]

Awesome video, thanks man

[@EverydayDoIt]

You're welcome!

[@scottfreeman7038]

Thanks,I'll about to service my Audi and this video helps.

[@jodar96]

Just changed the oil and filter in my 2014 A4 that I bought with 105K miles... Just loosen the filter 3-4 turns and wait. You will notice that oil in filter starts draining from drain hole in the pan. After a minute or two, remove the oil filter. It will be almost dry and no spill. It is helpful to have an oil filter end cap type filter removal tool.

[@szbert]

You forgot to open the oil fill cap to let air in. That allows the oil to drain faster and more completely. This is somewhat offset by removing the old filter. Otherwise, nicely done.

[@EverydayDoIt]

That would work. Thank you for the tip!

[@Chuckythestar]

this is extremely helpful

[@nickbradford9540]

OK review. the guy also shows you what not to do. learn from his mistake with the oil filter :)

[@EverydayDoIt]

+Nick Bradford Thanks Nick! Part of life is about learning :)

[@TheeMovieCritic88]

Always replace the crush washer and torque that drain plug to 30NM.

[@bigmax1839]

Thanks. Nice vid n str8 to the point . Changing my oil this evening when it gets a lil cooler in Miami . 2011 A4 here. Dealer wants 240. got a bottle of 0w-40 casterol full synth n a 10600 filter for 35 total. I got the ph10600. So il just change filter with oil every time. Vs the xg10600 I believe it's called but you can go 15k miles with that same filter for 31 bucks alone n the 5k filter is 11. There were no savings benefits in getting that filter with 15k vs changing it Every time

[@bigmax1839]

Also I went with casterol vs mobile only because that's what the gas cap says if anyone knows if there's a better oil let me know please that's why I like diy you can make sure your car gets spoild like the princess it is

[@EverydayDoIt]

+Max Walters Hey Max, thanks for checking out my video. I did some research on the oil. It looks like the Castrol 0w-40 full syntec isn't a recommended oil for Audi. Castrol 5w-40 syntec does meet Audi spec and you can use that. On the oil container it should mention that it meets VW 502 00. The list of oils are listed on the audiusa website. I will add a link in this video description to the list. Good luck, my friend!

[@snotface8]

Nice video!! thanks for this!

[@kicksoffs]

Good job buddy I love it keep at it.

[@EverydayDoIt]

Thanks!

[@camspruill6149]

Great vids! I'm going to do my 35k service and I checked out your spark plug vid as well! Question, is the oil drain plug bit a number 6 hex or torx? Thanks

[@Cyber_Nomad01]

How much oil does it take? I hate not having a physical dip stick.

[@jessieismyfriend]

you can purchase dipsticks for these at auto part store........ theres' a place in front for the dipstick, remove cap insert stick.

[@flowky-jk1mv]

Awesome 👍👍

[@AdrianP07]

Warum 0W40 ??? Audi empfehlt W 504 000 für Benzinmotoren oder W 507 000 für Dieselmotoren. Das bedeut 5W30. Das Auto habt mehr als 150 000 km ???

[@Ebutuoy1199]

Thanks for the video. Where did u purchase the oil filter? I like to add that u should leave the oil cap open or partially open to facilitate the oil drainage better and faster. I normally let the dealer do mine for 69.99 or 89.99. How much are u saving by doing yourself? I think they use synthetic oil (Castrol). Good job buddy for educating the KZbin community.

[@EverydayDoIt]

Thanks Ebutouy! That filter I purchased from Advance Auto but I recommend The MANN filter W719/45 from Amazon. This filter is great quality and pretty close to the OEM filter. The oil costs me $25 from Walmart and the filter $13 so total is about $40. My dealer charges $90 so its a pretty decent savings for me. Also, I didn't mention in the video but remember to change the drain plug gasket or it may leak oil.

[@skullz3163]

+RRAS Tutorials you have to change the drain plug gasket every time you do an oil change? im about to do mine i have a 2011 audi a4 so im wondering if i should order the gasket do they have it on amazon?

[@JoseGonzalez-do5mb]

I shredded my oil filter and damaged it. Only tip too remove it with out messing it up more?

[@chartrichard2111]

What's up w the oil consumption w these German gems?

[@scarface1325able]

Hey there, thanks for the video. i have a 2010 A5 2.0T and looking to do the diff fluid and manual trans fluid. any comments? I cant really find any DIY videos on these topics.

[@PolicemanxXx]

Did you use a copper or aluminium crush washer? What are its dimensions? M14X20X1.5? Thanks!

[@dannnthemannn69]

Do you have replace the filter and oil drain plug every time you change the oil ?

[@indianajosh96]

RRAS Tutorials take off the cap on the engine to allow air to flow through so it drains not only faster but gets it all out, but first warm up the oil by taking it around the block so its easier. Also, when its done draining clean where the oil came out because that can cause it to come off. I know all the this from a cousin that graduated from a mechanical school, he taught me everything I need to know about maintaining my car. You need to see a pro cuz you made a lot of mistakes!

[@djbaaz]

Wilbert Leyva 🤗

[@ndubz8956]

Could someone tell me if its possible to do an oil filter only replacement, without draining oil. Would the filter be so saturated with oil that it would spill out everywhere if I didn't drain all of it first? Thanks.

[@DeanUK]

Thanks for the video, did you do a check on the oil level through the mmi display, as there is no oil dip stick?

[@EverydayDoIt]

Correct, I check it through the display.

[@nicougrikify]

replace and put back are different concepts

[@Fidelq24]

Would the Mobil 1 (ow-40) and purolator oil filter work on my 2002 A4?

[@dougantelman2369]

The first thing you should’ve done is remove the filler cap. That’s prob why the oil didn’t drain out of your filter

[@414ty]

How many quartz

[@badboyfishnoneyabusiness9362]

Punch a hole in the top of the oil filter to drain completely and you will not have a mess just FYI.

[@zofa300]

I am trying to decide if I should buy a used Audi A4 quatro premium with 50K for about 18K miles or new Camry 2017. I usually do all mechanics work for my camry such as brakes, oil and change suspension. For the Audi I have no clue. So I am scared about the reliability issue and how expensive the Audi fix can be such as electrical issues. Also the person who owns the audi puts regular fuel all the time. How bad that can affect the engine or turbine. Appreciate your opinion. Thanks

[@zofa300]

uriel zavala garcia Thanks for the advise

[@luisgonzalez131]

Same here but my other choices do not include a Camry

[@zofa300]

+Richard Castellanos Thank you for the advise.

[@INGZV]

***** i kick your ass with my 2016 camry v6, audi its a fucking garbage car with a lot of mayor problems

[@EverydayDoIt]

+zofa300 Hey zofa, I had a 2009 Camry before I had the Audi. I had the same question before I decided to get the Audi. The reason why I decided to go with the Audi is because I can do my own simple maintenance and I really wanted all wheel drive for the long commutes in the snow. One thing I noticed when I sat in the Audi compared to the Camry was the quality of materials used. It seemed like there was more attention to detail put into constructing Audi. And there is always the issue of new vs used because you never know how the previous owner treated the car and plus the car will have the usual wear and tear. But if you decided to go used make sure to get 2012 or newer because of the massive oil consumption on previous 2.0T engine models. Good Luck on your decision! Cheers!

[@jermymadrigal4571]

got scammed by my dads stupid mechanic ended up paying $150 total for an oil change never again, doing this myself 😂

[@vietnamesedavid]

What's the best place to get an oil drain plug gasket ?

[@jasonma7942]

stuff like that should always use OEM from dealer. cheap enough.

[@rcatank]

First off, good video. End to End. But please for the love of god, don't use Euro spec oil, and then end up using chineese pep boys/AA paper filters..... (unless you plan to change filters ever 3k, and in that case don't do an oil change and just change filters 4 times before the next oil change). Just use a proper GERMAN filter like MANN made for German cars. And they actually cost less than the store down the street.

[@SpicyPablo808]

rcatank wix oil filter for Audi is the way to go

[@xp2003vz7]

Just curious. Why the 0w-40 and not the 5w-40?

[@EverydayDoIt]

xp2003vz7 Hey xp. I use 0w-40 because with mobile one oil that is the one that meets Audi spec. You can use other weights with different brands as long as it recommended for your car and meets Audi spec.

[@TrEo2322]

Mobile 1 is not the best.... I don't understand why people use mobile for there audi A4.... It clearly says Castrol oil on the oil cap. Castrol oil is the best.....

[@mwuagi]

Tyrell BS. I've used Mobil 1 0w-40 on my S4 since 2004, and have 208,638 trouble free miles on my engine. So Castrol is not necessary.

[@someday3873]

+Christopher Walker Royal Purple is good but expensive,Mobil 1 Syn is the second best choice,Castrol third...

[@tuliomancilla1945]

BIEN...!

[@EverydayDoIt]

Gracias!

[@CarsandCoding]

You don't need that rag around the oil filter, when I changed mine not a drop spilled out of the filter. Takes 5 quarts to fill it back up. Thanks for the video! If you want to see a video of how to change front brake pads/rotors on this car, you can check out my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2GTi3yAiLR0btk

[@stigarildhansen7931]

"Replace the drain plug gasket" Du you mean to make sure i put it back or do you mean that i should get a completely new gasket to replace the old one with?

[@EverydayDoIt]

Hey Stig, replace with a new gasket. It will make a nice new seal on the oil pan. Good Luck!

[@tiesto1102]

no need to replace make sure you refit the original one with the correct side up!

[@dartmaster481]

don't you think that *5W40* Fully Synthetic is better that 0W40 that you use !! always use a proper Oil on German cars brother . good luck

[@roberthyde7102]

Why is it you have a purolator filter on a German car Mann filter is the best choice to use.

[@neilt7145]

Or Bosch
