Thanks for the huge amount of help. There just are not any sites for changing oil for Audi's. I dont know about you guys (or gals), but I cant afford to take my Q5 in every time, for simple maintenance like this. Again thanks for the help!

Where is this one? I found the thicker of the two rubber rings (the one with the tab) in the cap, but I don't see the other one.

Many thanks!

Thanks, found this helpful today changing the oil in my 08 Quattro, which has the 3.2 V6, it was a little tricky but all went well.

The thinner one is on the engine still, on the part (a cylinder) that the oil filter housing screws down over. Get a flashlight; you will see a small, thin o-ring that wraps around it. Use a real small (almost midget) screwdriver or hook to remove the old one and oil the new gasket very lightly.

Torque oil filter housing or cover to 25Nm. I used a 36mm socket that I had for axle nuts. VERY nice!

Oil Drain Plug is torqued to 22 ft. lb. Always use a new (aluminum) washer.

Nice write-up. Thank you.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer my question!
I did find the ring eventually, and the torque specs are handy.

Kind regards,
