What’s the correct 2015 Audi A6 oil type?
I haven’t owned my car very long, but I just realized I need to top off my oil. I’m not sure what kind I need, though. What’s the correct 2015 Audi A6 oil type?

It’s good that you noticed your oil level was low! The correct 2015
Audi A6
oil type depends on whether you have an Audi A6 with a gasoline or diesel engine.Here is Audi’s requirement for the 2015 Audi A6 oil type based on what kind of engine it has:
Engine type | 2015 Audi A6 oil type |
|---|---|
Gasoline | VW 502 00 or VW 504 00 |
Diesel | VW 507 00 |
If you need to add oil to your engine but can’t find any that meets the above specifications, Audi says you can add “no more than 0.5 quart/liter” of a premium-quality synthetic oil that meets the specifications below:
Engine type | 2015 Audi A6 oil type |
|---|---|
Gasoline | ACEA A3 or API SM w/ viscosity grade of SAE 0W-30, SAE 5W-30, or SAE 5W-40 |
Diesel | ACEA C3 or API CF w/ viscosity grade of SAE 0W-30 or SAE 5W-30 |
Using an oil type other than what’s been recommended for your vehicle can lower your engine’s performance, or worse, cause serious (and costly) engine damage.
For more oil recommendations for your 2015 Audi A6, you can refer to your owner’s manual.
Hope this helps! Finding the right oil type for your car can be tricky, but finding the right
