Great content as always . I switched from Mobil one to Liqui Moly for my wife’s Audi Q7 and I’m glad I did. Mobil One Is great , but in my personal opinion Liqui Moly is perfect . The car runs smooth and i don’t see the 1/4 of a quarter oil consumption every 6k miles , that I did before switching . Now it might not be the oil itself , but it did make a difference when I switched.
I really enjoyed your RS7 oil change video. I just bought a new 2024 RS7 performance two weeks ago, but I don’t want to go 10K miles on Audis recommended oil changes with two turbochargers, and plan to change it every 5K instead. I will do it every other time and Audi can do their recommended changes. Thanks so much
Great video. Just so you know, to stop the door chime when the door is open, press the left arrow just above the scroll wheel on the left side of the steering wheel. You may have to press it twice, but it will stop the chime when the door is open.
No dipstick is a pain alright. It does tell you if you’ve overfilled. After my last service on my A6 a few weeks ago I had to drain about a quarter litre from it to get it right. Those proprietary fittings on the bolts are called “triple squares”. You’d probably get a set handy on Amazon.
That oil filter housing is the same type that Toyota uses. Toyota filters take a special wrench. Toyota also sells a metal replacement filter. Those filters require very little torque, the 0 ring does a great sealing job......
Just changed the oil on my wife’s 2017 RS7 and I noticed Audi must have changed the four outside bolts that you needed a T55 to loosen. I have 13mm bolts on her car, I guess Audi realized standard bolts are better. Thanks for the video
Great video. Thank you for it. I have a 2014 RS7 50k on it and I just bought it a few months ago. My question is how do you reset the computer to clear out the service due display? Can a car owner do it their self or does it have to go to the dealership? I know it saves money when you DIY, but if I have to have the service due reset by the dealership then I might as well take it to them to just do the service.
Just FYI not my 1st Audi. I’ve had 2-A5’s and an S5. But in past experiences I took my A5 to Volkswagen to have in serviced and after they returned it to me the service due was still displayed on the dash. I asked them to please clear the display and they said they couldn’t, I’d need to take it to the Audi dealership. Hence I never went there again. Since then I’ve just always went to the Audi dealership, always pricey doing so, but after watching your video the oil change does not look difficult at all. You made it look very easy. Thank you.
You didn’t show it but probably did it, but open oil fill cap before draining, and you can drain out the oil filter housing with the small drain plug to avoid so much oil staying in the housing and making that big a mess.
Good Thursday evening my friend. Damn I've never changed the oil in a Audi or BMW in that matter... Great tutorial on oil change on your wife's Audi 👍🇺🇲....
@@TWAMotorsports happy Sunday my friend.. it's cold here and another snow storm on the way. My wife and I are relaxing and watching the football games. I'm a die hard Miami dolphins fan we played pretty good this year. I'm rooting for green Bay Packers to win today...
When you look to the right side of the engine there is an orange looking plastic plug you can pull it out & replace it with a dip stick from a dealer. That is where they suck out the oil with a vacuum pump at the dealer. I found the part # online. Bought dipstick and dealer & it gives me accurate reading matching with what the computer says. Go online & do some research on it
Interesting, never saw an Audi. Those filters aren’t so bad when they are right side up... my SupaBooty Diesel has both oil and fuel filters the same way... however the 2ndary filter is horizontal on the frame and I have to use 3- 12” extensions and pray it doesnt spray/ drip all over the place. I’m surprised it uses so much oil, what is the engine size?
@@TWAMotorsports it’s a huge car and parts swap meet. A couple times a year over the spring and summer. The big one is in April. Look into it. The truck swap is in July or August.
" Auto Union" = Audi look up some history . I had a 2001 BMW 325 coupe for a little while with all most same set up. Looked good , handled good . M3 Gold color was special order sunroof delete . VIN ended in 0000 . Love hate relationship with that car . That one I do not miss too much, unlike a certain TB/SS .
I appreciate some of what you’re showing here. But honest question…why would you make a video (assuming from authority) if you’ve never done this service before?! There are a few parts that are not good advice. The 6mm hex on the filter cartridge is the second drain plug. That must be opened to drain the filter. Then you don’t get the overflow mess. The “proprietary” bit for the cover is called a triple square or xzn bit. Most German cars use those. So, I am asking, do your videos just show you doing service for the first time? Or are you experienced with these very high-end cars?
This was my first time working on this car. Just showing what I currently had going on in my garage. Entertainment only. Not a tutorial on what has to be done
This isnt personal towards the video maker, his just doing a how to video, however, this quarts measurement to me is so bizzare. to measure sumthing that is a quarter of some unknown unit, to watchers of the video, turns out to be a Quart of a gallon. and then to say its 9 time the quarter of 1 gallon, who or why measures anything so backwards like that man. and the fact that fluid ounces is different to non fluid ounces. and to say 9 quarters of X number. how does that even make sense. initially after Googling I got more confused, I thought, surely it cant not make that much sense, but no, its true, there is no logic. its 8 literes or 9 litres, which isnt aquarter or a 3rd of a measurement. see how simple, done.

I have an 2016 audi s6. I'm about to change oil tonight or in da morning..
@@TWAMotorsports great video.
@SW34T 👍
My RS5 didn’t have a dipstick either, it’s definitely a “hope that’s enough” kind of feeling when going off the MMI reading.
Apparently they have one with a plug in it under the engine cover
Its measured in the settings on mmi
The dealer uses a dipstick
Next time undo the hex bolt from the filter housing to drain the oil out of the housing. Less of a mess that way.
Yeah. I should have done that
The oil level is good, You will have an overfilled warning if you put too much ! But I agree it's akward without dipstick
Thank you. Yeah this is crazy
Liqui Moly 20232 Molygen New Generation is the only oil we used at the Audi performance shop I used to work for and now I use it in my ctsv too
I will look that up. Thank you

Yeah what a dumb design
Thanks for those instructions Boss.
Thank you. Glad I could help
👍 I despise changing oil but I do it myself because I’m not paying 70-90 dollars at the local oil change shop.
I hear that
My wifes volvo is exactly the same I wish there was a dipstick good job!
How dumb is this no dip stick lol

Yeah it's just wild compared to what I normal change.
It’s a triple square is what the tool you really need for those bolts underneath
Thank you for that information. I need one.
Also called an XZN
How many mm triple square?
@@simonchan4112 8mm triple square socket

Thank you. I reset it in the driver information center. It was an option on this model but no idea if it's on every year or model.
ODBEleven or VCDS (the real version not the cheap knockoffs). You can reset the service due with that.
How did you reset the computer for next oil change? Great video.
Sorry. Did that through the radio if I remember correctly
@@TWAMotorsports Thanks
Thanks for the detailed instruction...
Hopefully it helps you and others
That RS7 is niiiiiiice!
Thank you

I did open fill cap but should have drained differently
Good demo 👍
Thank you
@@TWAMotorsports no problem
To stop the beeping when you have the door open, press one of the left or right arrows on the left side of the steering wheel.
Good tip. Thank you
Or the OK button on the steering wheel
Looks like a fun oil change 😂
Right

can you you how it is done for the new RS7? a 2021 model

Just curious why did you sell it?
She wanted a Tesla
Please can u do one wit transmission oilchange?
Car is sold now or I would
@@TWAMotorsports damn....is there nothing on the Internet to show how to change it?
Probably not. Not many of these that people do their own work on

Lol
Why didn’t you drain the filter housing with the 6mm at the bottom 🤦♂️ guess you spotted it “learn by doing” 👍
Should have
Bro Iam just like u , i always try my best to take care my own ride , every time they fixed something always missing something too
Same here
Is there a dipstick to confirm the oil level?
Didn’t catch your comment about the dipstick. Too quick to comment.
Yeah its crazy

you can buy dipstick for it
That's what I hear
You can buy oil dipstick for 4.0 engines at Audi dealer
That's interesting
I wouldn't take my car to this guy.
Whys that
You could become an Amsoil distributor and just buy at dealer cost, just a thought...
I don't use enough or I would
Just press the button next to ok when the door alarm starts, this will mute it
