Yes they both have drain plugs. Whatever dealer said they don't needs to learn there product. The 3.0 has a 6mm hex to remove it and the 2.0 takes a 19mm wrench to remove the drain plug. They are both on the left side of the pan but the 2.0 is angled and the 3.0 is point straight down.

Audi A7 C7 3.0T Oil change video
Hey Guys,
Im trying to change the oil on my 2012 A6 C7 but I can't find the oil drain plug in the oil pan. Has anyone changed there oil and located it? I find it pretty strange I cant locate the the bolt. And yes I removed the under plastic panel.. I see the oil pan but no plug...
Thanks!'
John

Wow, seems like lots of confusion about this. Why would ECS Tuning sell an oil change kit for my /15 3.0T A6 that includes a new drain plug and washer if there were no drain plug present? So far I've had the first oil change @ 4K miles, and an intermediate one that I paid for at 9K miles done by dealer and next up is the 15K oil change covered by Audicare. My intention is to then change oil at 20K using my independent tech. I guess we'll see then if there is a drain plug unless he wants to use the "suck up" technique. I suspect that the suck up is used in part because removal of the belly pan entails time and from what I understand there are quite a few fasteners to loosen/remove. Love my A6 but things were simpler with my /77 Chevy Caprice Classic (as well as the /06 Acura TL). The price of luxury German motoring I guess.
Best,
Jeff

Honestly guys, I do not know. I know there is a plug on 3.0 diesel engine and on the 2.0 gas, but I've been reading there is no one on 3.0 supercharged, I have not checked myself if there is one or not. I purchased the vacuum as it seems like easier way of doing the oil change anyways.
