Thanks Cameron ! Love your channel bro and wish you nothing but the best going forward. I’ve learned a bunch watching your videos , I own a 2014 a6 3.0t and I’m ready to start working on all that good stuff so learned watching you. Thank you
@@AudiC7Owners yo bro me too just got my Audi a6 too only thing is I’m going through oil fast im burning a quart every 300-400 miles you think this would help and would you recommend to just keep topping off or is there something I can do to help my consumption ?
If you use an engine additive to clean it, then absolutely. If you are just doing normal oil changes & stay on top of it, mixing new oil with that leftover bit won't harm anything.
Hey great video, I also do my oil change from the top and it akes oil changes a breeze. Just FYI harbor freight has a recall on that fluid extractor. I believe it has to do with the pressure relief valve not operating correctly at times and may cause the device to rise in excessive pressure and explode.
PSA- I ran into bad beginners luck after my first oil change. I didn’t torque the filter cap and only went a half turn past hand tightening. The oil sprayed everywhere towards the front fan. I’ll always make sure to use the torque wrench. I jiggle and move the extractor tube which helped get to the last half a liter. I measured the amount by pouring it back into the container.
Did you use 1 can and half of the other can for the engine flush you cut that part and also did you use 1 can and half of the other can for the motor oil saver ?
Some people do additional oil change, they say that even after you drain the old oil with flush, there is still some flush that stays in the engine and it will thin out the new oil, so they add cheap oil, run for few minutes, then drain it, then add good oil. I wanted to know what's your take on this? Have you experienced any oil thinning etc?
If you drain from the pan they're will not be a significant amount left in there. As long as you stay on top of your changes you don't need to worry about the residual leftover oil in the vehicle.
Camerooon! Great video!!! I better change my oil asap then, and drain fully. I have been using fluid extractor, decent amount remains at then end still. I also extract a bit from filter port by sticking extractor hose in there. Question Cam, have you used CERA TEC additive before? Thoughts on using that instead Motor Oil Saver? Also you can just dump the additive in 5-liter bottle and give a nice shake and then put in the motor.
If you don't have any oil consumption issues then I would use Cera Tec. If you have some oil consumption, I'd start off doing a couple rounds of motor oil saver. If that improves or fixes your consumption, then go back to the Cera Tec
@@AudiC7Owners Subz77z may want to check with LiquiMoly before doing this. They say to be very careful when changing fluids, because they say motors do get used to them. The LM sales guy from one of the videos said "Some people do Cera-Tec for one change, then they change to MoS2 on the next change" ... When I contacted LM the person who replied said to absolutely NOT do this. Lol
Glad I found your Channel 💯 I recently picked a B8.5 S4 (2013) with the 3.0t I see ya got a oil dipstick which I am after But do not want to order for ECS. Where Did you get yours?
Hi Cameron, I have a q5 3.0t had the PCV/Oil separator changed including all hoses thermostat and water pump. Noticed no more oil consumption. After about a month of of this repair I added less than a quart of oil. Then after about 12 days I noticed that we needed to add about a quart of oil then after 5 days another quart? What gives? any Ideas? Here's the things I had the Oil separator replaced previously because it was defective. Yes the parts are from the Audi factory so the question is what's going on with oil consumption. Taking the car to the shop to do a scan to see if this part failed again. If so do you have any insight what may cause it to fail again? Or other ideas?
That is really strange. Have you inspected your valve cover gaskets for leaks? That was my main problem. How are your driving habits? Aggressive or docile?
I don't on occasion. But if you are already having kicked up oil rings and other things that are result of built up carbon from neglect it likely will not do a ton to help you
Nope. That's the reservoir for our divorced setup. But check out our pcv relocation diy playlist. We will be installing a catch can when we complete that
@@AudiC7Owners what do you recommend for an oil catch can? (ie, brand, model) And what kind of 'catches' should we beware of, like how it behaves in winter?
1) you can't run a catch can on the 3.0t without modifying the pcv system. That's why we are installing ours when we do our pcv relocation. 2) the biggest thing is that you can't let it freeze. So if you live in a place where the car will be subjected to freezing Temps for a long time, I wouldn't install one. 3) I'm going to be using an integrated engineering can, but as long as you get one that has a good baffle you will be good. I also highly suggest getting one that allows you to drain from the bottom.
@@AudiC7Owners wow thanks for this info! So when it's freezing outside for a few days, or forecast says it will, you should have a quick and easy way to remove (and reinstall) it, right? Does the IE can do that? Or should I just wait for your video lol
stupid question from a new audi owner here 🙋♂️. is it safe to leave the dipstick in your car or should i put the plug back after i get finished checking/ changing the oil? like i said stupid question but i’m not sure since it comes with the plug 🤦🏼♂️
Is it acceptable to mix brand of oil, I want to start using liqui moly but I still have 2/3 of oil left. I did stage 1 tune and I can see that I am burning oil more quickly.
Hello, brother. My car has a problem, it reduces the oil of the engine and it's on my screen (add oil, max 1L you can continue driving), isn't it bad for my engine if I go a few kilometres on it?
@@AudiC7Owners I come from the Mopar Community, hellcats and things of that nature. Everything I know and are currently learning about my A7, stems from your content. You’re awesome bro, seriously.🦾 Just wanted to know your perspective. 🙏🏾
@@AudiC7Owners < wait, what? Why do they do that? Is it true for anybody or do you have a deal of some sort with them? I've been buying the same exact oil change kit from them for years and never heard of that.
When it is cold the oil is all at the bottom of the engine, so there is a little chain rattle until the oil moves through the engine. This is normal as long as it doesn't last longer than 2 seconds
@@AudiC7Owners I hear their new Molygen is even better, Liqui Moly says that it's their least friction oil yet and it has a perfect blend of additives already in it so you don't need to add anything in it, my dealership says that it's better than Ceratec, have you tried yet?
Leiflucht is their best oil. That is straight from my LM rep. Molygen is good for finding leaks. Each of them have additives. The Ceratec will still help
This is why I refuse to use the extractor I had even bought one and returned it. It just doesn't make sense that it could pull all of the oil. Most will be technically over filling if they have all that left over abd potential to ruin the oil pump.

@@tonygarcia1021he made video(s) on oil consumption with the 3.0T engine. Most of the time it’s the pcv. Take a look at those videos. Best of luck
I love taking the 4 different style of screws out on the belly pan. 😂 ole’ school
😂😂 facts
Great video! Would you use the LM Cera Tec instead of the LM motor oil saver? I am debating between the two for my upcoming engine oil change.
Great video! I guess draining from the bottoms is the best for the 3.0T 😬

This isn't a harbor freight extractor
Oops no worries then.😂
Looked on fcpeuro and couldn’t find the dipstick…
Cam. U need the urotuning black caps for the windshield washer fluid tank and the coolant reservoir.
Feel free to send some to me! 😉🤣

Do all the O-Rings come with the Leichtlauf Fcp Euro kit for the filter housing ?
If it comes with a filter it should come with the gaskets
Where can I buy a dipstick to check the oil? mine is electronic and I have not found a compatible one
Fcp euro carries them
I short a quart at 2200 miles like clock work. Change my oil every 5k. Currently at 105k no mods.
That could be from driving habits if you drive aggressively. Could have a leak somewhere as well.
Glad I found your Channel 💯 I recently picked a B8.5 S4 (2013) with the 3.0t I see ya got a oil dipstick which I am after But do not want to order for ECS. Where Did you get yours?
I got mine groom fcp euro. Just find a dip stick from a 2006 audi 3.2L engine.
How do you have a dipstick did you add it or did it came with it , I have an Audi a6 12 3.0
I added it. Bought from fcp euro
@@AudiC7Owners thank you for the response , is there a video you showed you added it ? I really don’t want to rely on my mmi a6 12 3.0 premium plus

@@AudiC7Owners Docile/Aggressive depending, mostly docile for sure. I will have the valve covers checked to see if there are any leaks.
How do you get the refund back on the oil? Just send in the empty jugs? Im about to do an oil change next week and got the same stuff through them
You have to send your old oil back to them. They have a page on their website showing how
Do you have any recommendations for fuel additives
I'm not convinced they help At all, but I've used BG & Liqui Moly
hey whats your opinion on the Bg engine flush
I don't on occasion. But if you are already having kicked up oil rings and other things that are result of built up carbon from neglect it likely will not do a ton to help you
Hello, if i take Rowe should it also be 5W40?
Yep!
@@AudiC7Owners thanks

It's safe to leave it in 👍🏻
Can I use the the engine flush and motor oil saver service on my C7 2.0T engine?
Yep! Just add the appropriate amount for your engine
Is it acceptable to mix brand of oil, I want to start using liqui moly but I still have 2/3 of oil left. I did stage 1 tune and I can see that I am burning oil more quickly.
Yes you can mix synthetic oils
@@AudiC7Owners thank you so much love your channel!!
how did you change the intervals to 5k isnt it 10k stock?
Check out my obd11 tutorials Playlist
I knew a guy who got his first job at a gas station. Naturally he thought you poured the oil down the dipstick tube.
Hello, brother. My car has a problem, it reduces the oil of the engine and it's on my screen (add oil, max 1L you can continue driving), isn't it bad for my engine if I go a few kilometres on it?
You can drive some, but don't go an excessive distance.
Wish i had watched this video rather than the ecs tuning one. Think i overtightned my oil filter housing
Ouch
How is that PCV relocation holding?
Fantastic
Why the blue bottle of liqui Molly instead of the green one?
Because this is a slightly better oil. I would only use the green bottle if I needed to track down a leak.
What’s your take on Amsoil
Why use then when you have oils from rowe/motul/LM available? Those are Def the top 3 oils, in that order, for German vehicles

How did the oil saver worked in your car ?
Didn't notice much of a difference to be honest

Shipping isn't refunded. But the price of the oil change kit is

Yep. They have changed just recently to giving a store credit for the returns but it's pretty much for anything.

Report back if this helps with your oil consumption
What's that rattle on crank up. My car does the same

how much oil did the car drain?
I didn't measure it out... Not really relevant. My car burns oil so I have to add a let every 2k or so depending on how I drive.

ALMOST 3LIT BEHIND WITH THE OIL EXTRACTOR.😂😅
