* Year and Model: The specific oil type and viscosity your Audi A6 TDI requires depends on the year of manufacture and the exact engine model. Different engine generations have different specifications.
* Service Interval: Your owner's manual and service records will provide the most accurate information regarding the recommended oil type and viscosity for your specific car.
How to Find the Right Oil:
1. Consult Your Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source of information.
2. Check the Oil Fill Cap: The fill cap may have a sticker indicating the recommended oil type and viscosity.
3. Visit Your Audi Dealer or a Reputable Mechanic: They can look up the specifications for your specific car.
Important Considerations:
* Oil Type: Modern TDI engines often require low-SAPs (sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur) oils to protect emissions systems.
* Viscosity: The recommended viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 0W-40) will be specified in your owner's manual.
* Oil Change Intervals: Follow your owner's manual recommendations for oil change intervals.
Remember: Using the wrong type of oil can damage your engine and void your warranty.
