The short answer

Which oil does a Audi A4 take?

The oil your Audi A4 needs depends on its engine and when it was built. Below is what the carmaker lists for each A4 engine — 3 generations and 12 engine types in our table — and the oils we sell that state it: NAPA from our Bulwell shelf, plus Castrol, Mobil and Valvoline delivered next day.

  • A4 B9 (2015–now) — petrol: VW 504.00 (5W-30) or VW 508.00 (0W-20); diesel: VW 507.00 (5W-30)
  • A4 B8 (2008–2015) — petrol: VW 504.00 (5W-30); diesel: VW 507.00 (5W-30)
  • A4 B6 / B7 (2001–2008) — petrol: VW 504.00 (5W-30); diesel: VW 507.00 (5W-40)

The grade (such as 5W-30) and the approval (such as a carmaker code) both need to match your handbook. If your car has a particulate filter, the low-ash oil the handbook lists protects it.

By generation

Audi A4 engine oil by generation and engine

Each A4 engine in our table with the approvals the carmaker lists for it (in the handbook or the service schedule), the usual one first, and the grades. Where we mark “check your handbook”, the approval changed during production or we could not confirm it in a carmaker’s own document. Check your exact car in the finder or WhatsApp us your reg.

Questions

Audi A4 engine oil questions

What engine oil does a Audi A4 take?

It depends on the engine and generation. A4 B9 (2015–now) — petrol: VW 504.00 (5W-30) or VW 508.00 (0W-20); diesel: VW 507.00 (5W-30). A4 B8 (2008–2015) — petrol: VW 504.00 (5W-30); diesel: VW 507.00 (5W-30). Check your exact car, or WhatsApp us your reg and we’ll check.

What grade of oil does a Audi A4 use?

Most A4 engines in our table list 5W-30; others list 0W-20 or 5W-40. Use the grade your handbook gives together with its approval: the same grade can carry different approvals.

Does my A4 need low-ash (low SAPS) oil?

If it has a particulate filter, yes: use the low-ash approval its handbook lists, such as VW 504.00, VW 507.00 or VW 508.00. A high-ash oil can block the filter over time.
