Servicing Audi A4 B8... Easy! Oil and filter change

Hi and welcome to my second video!
It has finally come time to service my Audi A4 - and that means to change engine air and oil filter as well as the interior pollen filter.
As you noticed all filters are from MANN-Filter company, but that is only for aesthetics, ha!
There are no sponsorships in this video. I just chose MANN-Filter for their reasonable price/quality.
Here are the parts I used as reference that you can use for your own Audi B8/B8.5 2.0 TDI CAGA/CJCA projects:
1. Oil - Castrol 5W30 EDGE TITAIUM FST LL 5L
2. Oil Filter - MANN-FILTER HU7008z
3. Engine Air Filter - MANN-FILTER C32130
4. Pollen Filter - MANN-FILTER FP 2450 (I got the one with Activated carbon, you can use a more simple filter)

*B8.5. And I think the best looking A4 Audi has ever made.

Nice vid. Thanks Subscribed

[@spirosgal1885]

Hey ..thanks for the video man..i have an A5 ..b8 , so it pretty much identical with yours. I'm going to Greece from Germany by car and ill service it my self !!

[@ainarsvinks]

Yep.. A5 and Q5 share the same platform. Should be the same engines. Good luck.

[@d-metod3906]

Small tip mate, before changing the engine oil, just turn the engine for 10 minutes with oil changer cleaner, than drain 😉 it doesn't make a big difference but if there is some micro rubbish it will clean it, but if you keep forgetting from a micro it can turn to big so keep that in mind

[@jerryx2000]

LOL that would make Greta angry!

[@gsbansal9816]

Thx for information

[@sanelentuli2339]

Thanks my brother,now I know how to do a service for my Audi A4 Tfsi model, may God bless you

[@ainarsvinks]

Be careful! This is not a guide for TFSI engine. There must be differences when changing oil between 2.0 TDI (diesel) and TFSI (petrol/gas) engines.

[@smailsmaili4783]

Cool bro

[@conversationovercoffee]

Nice vid, mate... About to tackle my oil change as well... you'd do well to consider an afe pro dry S air filter for the engineas it's washable and makes my B8.5 A4 breathe better with the added benefit of hearing more of the turbo... And damn, that's a nice driveway bro 👍 Cheers

[@ainarsvinks]

Filter noted, thanks

[@tuttotutoriali2137]

Nice video, please I need to do the same to my 8.5 a4 Avant, I need to know if it is necessary to change the copper ring of the bottom screw?

[@ainarsvinks]

Thanks! Yes you should definitely change the washer. It will be crushed when tightening the plug and seal the plug/hole in the process. If you use the old one, there is a chance that the oil can sip out. You will feel the first higher tightening torque when you start crushing the washer, but thats normal. After that it will get a bit easier to tighten till you actually “hit” the oil pan. From there you should tighten by the torque specified.

[@TurunHenkka]

Good vid. So which oil filter goes to cagc engine? One with the plastic stick on bottom or without?

[@ainarsvinks]

I will give you an info about that tomorrow. I have to update the catalog database. As I can see in e-shops there is some problem with the correct filter. One is with the plastic stick inside the filter, but another suggests to use the same as mine - without. Even the same shop has both of those options stated for cagc... haha.

[@eldinimamovic8347]

Any video how to replace heather core?thanks

[@ainarsvinks]

I have no clue how to do that. Keep searching...

[@damianmarsden5176]

What about resetting the service light?

[@ainarsvinks]

You can only do it with an OBD scanner/tool. Didn't have it at hand when filming the video. I believe you can reset the oil change interval in the MMI, but not the service interval.

[@aakashshadrach5925]

Hi. What is the oil capacity of this engine? How many liters?

[@ainarsvinks]

For this engine (cjca) it is 5 liters. If it is caga or other diesel engines from prefacelift, it could be less. You have to check somewhere.

[@Selfish_Pig]

Do you find what was that ? I mean this oil leak ?

[@ainarsvinks]

Yes, I found the oil leak. It was coming from the front crankshaft seal.

[@jerryx2000]

How long do you own this car? Does it use oil?

[@ainarsvinks]

I have this car for 4 years. My A4 has a small oil leak from one of the crankshaft seals that I haven’t fixed yet - i’m waiting when I have to change the timing belt to fix the seal all together. So I can’t tell if it is normal that it burns a bit oil. Well for one thing I haven’t seen any VAG TDi engines which don’t consume a bit oil.

[@user-xb4zk2ul9e]

What about fuel filter ? Where is it ?

[@ainarsvinks]

I didn't change the fuel filter. The filter I believe is located underneath the car very close to the left side's skirt. There should be a metal cover protecting the filter and hoses. After the fuel filter change you MUST connect to the car's ECU and tell the fuel tank pump to run for a while. That is needed because the filter and the high pressure pump will be empty - they need to be filled with fuel before starting up the engine or else you will be risking in damaging the high pressure pump.

[@martincrean7993]

@@ainarsvinks In my 2011 A4 B8 right hand drive, the filter lives in the underside of the car around where the driver seat is located. Some dirt panels must be removed before it can be accessed.

[@NorciXBlack]

Tev motorā ieiet visi 5L ? 🤥🤔

[@ainarsvinks]

Ja kārtīgi notecina, tad iet. Nav pārbaudes mieta, tad jau tiešām zinātu, cik ļoti ir par daudz. Pēc specenes ir jālej 5l.

[@magdalenawereda8753]

Where are you from? Country? 😊

[@ainarsvinks]

Latvia

[@michalopaleny9553]

Are you sure that oil capacity is 5 l? I found 4,3 l

[@ainarsvinks]

Is your engine cjca? If yes then drain fully - let it drain for a while. Where did you find 4.3l?

[@michalopaleny9553]

@@ainarsvinks on forums from owners. Mine is 2009 2.0 tdi manual 105 kw. Idk if its cjca what ever that means :)

[@ainarsvinks]

@@michalopaleny9553 that is an engine type/model. If its 2.0tdi, then still it can have variants. For example different horsepower, different oil filters, etc.. Your car doesn't have cjca engine, but that is kinda good, because you should have an oil measuring stick. You can fill the oil 4l at start, then measure with the stick. I don't have such luxury. Only way I can tell the oil level is through mmi display.

[@michalopaleny9553]

@@ainarsvinks ye i saw that ppl do the same and than keep checking on display, which is kinda ridiculous. Seems like there is way to mod it and add stick tho.

[@ainarsvinks]

@@michalopaleny9553 so does your audi have a oil stick? I also read that, but I have to be extremely cautious about which stick exactly to buy. From caga engine thr stick is a bit too long.

[@ronfeldman4386]

Having the usr of a out makes it so much easier to change the oil. Slava Ukrayini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[@chrissuu12]

Why you Keep taking the key out when you can rotate in opposite directions?😂😂😂😂

[@ainarsvinks]

Thats a good question haha. I noticed that too when editing the video.
