Audi a6 c5 fwd
 

Hello friends
What kind of oil is needed for audi a6 c5 fwd?
And how much?

Hello
The engine is 2.4 liters and manual gearbox

google it. says 6.1 liters with filter.

Hello
Thank you for your help
It is amazing !!!
6.1 liters !!
Or 1.6 liters !!?
I had emptyed the gearbox oil and had not been changed !! And about 2.1 oil was discharged !!!!
And somewhere I've read Audi
A4 6 cylinder needs 2.3 liters !!! Which one is correct in your opinion?

6sp 01E gearbox takes 2.3 liters for 4wd. 5 sp 01A 4wd takes 2.7 liters. 2wd doesn't show in my manual. Check if your transmission has 2 drain plugs, probably not on 2wd though. 4wd 01E's have 2 with the second back on the tail piece.

Technically the 01E 6 sp is supposed to be filled to 7mm below the fill hole and you check it with an allen wrench as a dipstick. 5 sp is a fill till spills out hole. Buy 3 liters. fwd may be different, but 3 should be plenty. I have a hunch most transmissions, even the 01E's are filled till spill and the 7mm measurement is ignored.

Hi, Thank you very much for your advice

search the forum for many posts on best oil. I use Mobil 1 0w40 or 10w 40, of Castrol Syntec 5w40. Didn't we say 6.1 liters. Lubri Moly is claimed to be very good.

For transmission I use redline MT-90. It's a 75w90 GL4. don't use GL5. there are many other brands, be sure to use synthetic GL4

Thanks for your response. How many liters of oil should I put in a gearbox?

capacity depends on transmission. My USA manual doesn't cover your car, but 3 liters should be more than enough. Most likely, your transmission will be full when the oil drips out the fill hole in the side of the transmission. As far as I know, only the 2.7 awd cars are filed when the level is slightly below the fill hole. Try searching the web for your info.
