Audi - Engine OilNot sure what Audi engine oil to buy? Find engine oil for your Audi here.
Audi uses a Volkswagen specific engine oil which was introduced in the 1990s ensuring minimum standards are met for their vehicles (including Audi). Over time oil requirements increase and the specifications set for Audi have moved on from 500.00 to 504.00 and 507.00 specifications.
These specifications are used for Audi, Skoda, Seat and Volkswagen cars. |
