Engine Oil Pan and Oil Pan Drain Plug Reminders? Always use a torque wrench to achieve the factory recommended toque specification for your engines oil pan drain plug. Most oil leaks can occur from the engines oil drain plug area due to the following reasons. Being under tightened or over tightened, missing a sealing washer, using non factory specified drain plugs and sealing washers, worn oil pan drain threads, or flawed sealing and mating surfaces. When performing your oil change you should always inspect your oil pan drain plug and sealing washer mating areas. If you observe flawed areas on these surfaces replace your drain plug, drain plug sealing washer, or repair the oil pan drain plug sealing area. You should also inspect the engines oil pan drain threads. Often times due to repeated drain plug removal these threads can become stripped or excessively worn. Due to worn oil pan threads the factory torque value can not be reached with the oil pan drain plug. If the oil pan drain threads are excessively worn it is best to replace the oil pan with a new one. We do not recommend after marked oil pan drain plug repair kits.
What is the Best Audi Oil Change Interval? Our Blauparts oil change kits are designed for the factory recommended Audi oil change intervals. However depending on rough driving conditions or spirited driving styles Blauparts recommends an earlier oil change intervals or every 6 months which ever occurs first. Changing your Audi's oil is good preventative maintenance in an effort to minimize long term engine repair costs.
What Oil Type Should I Use? We suggest always using oils that specifically indicate an Audi/VW oil quality specification on the bottle (Example: VW 504 00/507 00). These oils have been created with your vehicles engine design and style in mind. By using approved specification oil you will greatly improve your vehicles mechanical longevity and performance. Many engines that use generic style engine oils will most likely have premature mechanical problems later in mileage (Example: premature oil consumption, worn engine internals, blown and worn turbochargers, prematurely plugged cranks ventilation and PCV systems, plugged diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters).
Audi Oil Changes and Warranty? Blauparts recommends that any vehicle under factory warranty use an engine oil with OEM approvals for the required oil specification.
What's the difference between an oil that “meets” an oil specification and an oil that has “OEM Approvals” or an approved specification? An oil that has an “approval” received a formal letter of approval from the car manufacturer that the oil specified can be used in their engines whereas an oil that “meets” an oil specification has not received a formal letter of approval from the car manufacturer.
