Why check the motor oil level in my Audi 4000?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Audi 4000 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Audi oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Audi 4000 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Audi 4000 to illuminate?

Your Audi 4000 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

Do I need to replace my 4000’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your Audi 4000 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
