Audi 80/Avant (B4)

Since 1991-1995 of release

Repair and car operation

Two criteria are solving at purchase of "correct" engine oil. Oil should possess:

• The correct specification. Deceptive labels on canisters are extremely rare, because firms-manufacturers mutually supervise each other.
• Correct viscosity (viscosity). It depends on primary external temperature and can be tracked on the top schedule.
• «Application of additional means – is not important what sort – in lubricant oils contradicts our maintenance instruction. The damages which have resulted use of similar means, are excluded from a guarantee». Such is opinion Audi after addition to oils. The expediency of expenses for additives for oils with a view of increase in service life of the engine continues to remain, especially if to consider application of oils with high operational properties, under the big question.

How often to change oil?

Additives to engine oil

According to instructions Audi it is necessary to change oil each 15 000 km or a minimum once in a year. We consider that the driver going exclusively on a long distance, also should adhere 15 000 km as to the top border. On the other hand, the one who uses car Audi mainly on short distances, should change oil much earlier. In a cold season most later – in six months, irrespective of probably small run. At exclusively city operation it is necessary to think of oil replacement already after four months.

The one who applies seasonal oil, should think of its replacement according to a season – in the spring and in the autumn, – that oil corresponded to external temperatures.

Oil replacement – where and how?

Engine oil should vary on the heated-up engine that at running off oil has washed up all dirt.

• In the conditions of growing ecological literacy, possibly, all consequences of hit of the fulfilled oil in ground waters with corresponding consequences for potable water are already known. Correct recycling of the fulfilled oil merged at replacement, thanks to the legislation on a waste, now became absolutely simple business: it is possible to hand over it free of charge in that shop in which you have bought oil for replacement. Trade is obliged to accept at you the fulfilled oil, as proof of purchase it is necessary to show the cash voucher only. Even easier for you if you use installation for отсоса old oil on refuelling then it is not necessary to suffer at all with the fulfilled oil.
• In workshops oil replacement by our experience is most expensive, because only very expensive grades of oil there are applied. Besides, often engine again cools down before while the fulfilled oil has time to descend. And work in addition appears in the account, at least, on replacement of the oil filter.
• On refuellings the car, as a rule, immediately arrives in work. You can choose and cheaper oil from among on sale on refuelling, besides the oil price includes at once work.
• Against independent replacement of oil with отсасыванием old oil on refuelling of anything it is impossible to object, but only in the event that the oil filter as varies each 15 000 km. It can be made independently.
• Independent replacement of oil justifies itself only when you can favourably get oil in autoshop of the completing goods.

• Capacity for the fulfilled oil. Will approach the old oil canister with the cut out lateral wall or the served big pan.
