I bought a servicekit from Audi, that only included 5 plugs for BUJ engine. It did not include the M18 allen plug seen in other videos. Autodata don't mention removing more than 5 plugs either. So this might be the only correct description out there. On the car I'm working on the front panel wouldnt come of, some screws only spinning due to rust. Taking of left wheel and splash guard I managed to access the plug and catch that oil in a plastic bag instead.
Dude thank you very much! I’ve always taken my R8 to the dealership for service. The last time, they cracked my carbon fiber from splitter so I decided to try an oil change myself. This video made it super easy! Excellent video and thank you!
There are 7 drain plugs on my 2014 R8 V10 (and I'd think yours too). Plug #6 is horizontal on a pipe that can be seen far to the left at 5:48. Plug #7 is vertical and very near plug #1 and is slightly larger than #1 -- Plug #1 is on the oil pump whereas Plug #7 is on the oil pan.
Well, it‘s better to loose the oilfiltercap before opening any drainplug underneath, because the dirty old oil in the filterhousing run‘s down in the pan by opening the cap! In this case you have almost one liter old oil in the fresh oil...
i would start with removing the oil filter first, because the filter it made so it dont drain dry every time you stop the engine so it not with out oil pressour every start op. so to get all the oil out you need to loosen and remove the filter, that little plastic end on the filter prevents the filter from draining.
Thank you for the video. So I am have a 2018 and I have located four plugs, but there is nothing in front of the left tire to drain on it. How many plugs are there in total 5 or 8? Any information on 2018 models? Thank you.
Thanks, this will help with my 1st Gallardo oil change. I would recommend taking the filler cap off 1st as well though. One other thing ; run a can of seafom the day before and drive it to remove deposits.
Thanks for the guide, my parents have a RS6 2008, and even if you drain the oil in this brutal engine you're not getting all oil out there is almost 1-2 liter left :).My dad and i have thought about doing it self and not go to the Audi dealer. But you must know what you're doing :)
Quite interesting and very well done!! Also was a great touch with the labelling. Wonderful to seeOEM parts being used as well as torque values. I would say nearly a factory quality instructional video. Is this a home garage with a hoist...awesome!!
Thanks for this buddy! I have a 2014 V10 but im still scared to do it myself for I am not mechanically inclined with cars.. but when stealerships dont exists anymore this will def help lol
they put all these oil drains on the engine and hope for owners goes to a normal garage and miss just one drain plug bye bye warenty im a BMW mec and just had a mb e63 in my shop for oil change and battery change i called my friend that is a mb mec and he told me not to miss the drain at the oil cooler and battery change just remember to back up the system with a external battery or you wil have all the lights in the combi instrument on and you have to go to mb dealer and spend a lot of Money
I have a 2018 R8 Plus; should I use the Audi Sport dealer to change my oil or find a private specialty shop to accomplish oil changes etc.? Thanks in advance for the advice!
Wow! I never thought this process seem pretty straight forward! But takes a lot of time and lesser cost of simply buying a new fresh full synthetic oil and an oil filter as well as some necessary replacement hardwares.
Any engine designer that comes up with 7 plugs to drain an engine should not be designing anything, I own Porsches and they also have dry sump systems, only have to deal with 2 plugs. I was seriously thinking of getting an R8, but after seeing this I have to give it a second thought.
@@xXBurntBaconXx 3yrs late but if someone else reads this, it may help them. The Audi R8 V10 Shop manual states SAE 5W-40 Full Synthetic and it should have the VW/AUDI 502.00, 505.00 spec approval listed on whatever brand you go with. When in doubt, read the official specs or risk damage to the motor.
Thanks for the guide, can now swap my v10 civics oil
Aren't there supposed to be 7 drain plugs in the V10? From what I've read on the forums

I wish I had that used oil for my engine. 😂
drain oil filter first. Now you have half a liter of dirty oil in the system
Thomas Fooij - that's what I thought too
yep oil filter have 0,5 liter normaly i always start with the filter then the drain in the sump
Wouldn't it be better to fill the metalcasing (where the oil filter with cap is screw into) with a little bit of fresh oil before starting the engine?
I wouldn't trust any Audi dealership 😂

I referred to the Factory 2015 Service Manual for the R8 v10 Plus and it specified to drain the 5 plugs as illustrated.
Why not a 5w30 oil ?
Thanks for this awesome video, i am tackling my first self oil change on my 2015 v10 this weekend.
Where do you fill oil ? Do you fill oil in the same cap that has dipstick ?
Yes. That is correct

yep the filter o rings prevent the filter housing running dry like a one way valve
o ring
A very comprehensive video . Tool list in the beginning was very helpful.thank you for your time.
Even his shop towel is nice.
Even the oil dripping onto the pan sounds cooler than when I do it
mannnn that's cool... i guest if u can afford this car u can afford a lift in u own home :))) LOL... cool
Great amazing video thanks
things u need: one R8 V10 plus XD
4:59 - I am doing my 2012 V10 oil and the first plug hardly had any oil. The second and third had most of it. Weird. Plus my bolt sized are different.
Thank you for the video.
So I am have a 2018 and I have located four plugs, but there is nothing in front of the left tire to drain on it. How many plugs are there in total 5 or 8? Any information on 2018 models?
Thank you.
That's a valuable video.
That's how you drain the oil out of the R8.
Thanks for the video. Tackling this job maybe Saturday. How do you reset the maintenance light for oil change?
GOOD!!!
Thanks, this will help with my 1st Gallardo oil change. I would recommend taking the filler cap off 1st as well though. One other thing ; run a can of seafom the day before and drive it to remove deposits.
Probably the best and clearest video. Thank you.

thanks for the detail - i'm guessing one can't change via a top side oil extractor?
I have a 2018 R8 Plus; should I use the Audi Sport dealer to change my oil or find a private specialty shop to accomplish oil changes etc.? Thanks in advance for the advice!
I would use the Audi Sport dealer unless the private shop has R 8 experience
Great demonstration, I suspect this the same procedure with the 2011 V10
Great step by step instructional video! Excellent!
Same for the 2010 V10 (not Plus)?
I wonder how much it would cost at the dealership to remove one of those torque screws once it strips?
Wow! I never thought this process seem pretty straight forward! But takes a lot of time and lesser cost of simply buying a new fresh full synthetic oil and an oil filter as well as some necessary replacement hardwares.
the same with a MB AMG but on this engine the oil cooler is the nr 2 drain hole that nr 2 drain hole i can understand but 7 hmmmmm
Kuya, Good job!... talo si Ponying!
Damn, that's a lot of oil. That didn't ever seem it was going to finish coming out.
aaf1218 ha. the diesels i work on sometimes have an oil capacity of over 5 gallons.
What kind of oil to use in a v10 Audi R8 2010?
Is this the same oil used for a 2008 R8 V8?
That was a lot of work to change the oil 🤦♂️
this is crazy why all these drains
Ive heard that priming the oil filter casing is a good idea.
VW/Audi do recommend that for their regular cars.
No priming needed on the R8 since you basically replace the filter element only. The filter housing is attached to engine.
awesome video
Fantastic thanks
When i fill the oil the oil is not coming from the drain bolt, i have to remove any air block ?
+Naveen Israel ,
There is no air block in the dry sump on the R8. No need to open the oil fill cap as it drains rapidly as you can see in the video
Why you need to have warm engine? Becasue cold oil is tougher?
Oil will drain quicker.
and cleaner
Why is the oil so clear as if it was new and not black ?
people that cares for their exp cars do oil change monthly i use to do it to there is nothing wrong with a oil change to early
Why didn't you just buy 2 * 5 bottles
Because it's right thing to do :)
hey will this work on a 2011 v10 r8?
Yes, very similar different in 1 or 2 drain plugs only
hey, do you know how to reset the service indicator? I did the oil change one but unable to reset the service reminder. Is this a dealer only thing?
Vick G I don't reset mine but you can have dealer do it or get vagcom software which can reset it
CHANGE THE FILTER FIRST!
Any engine designer that comes up with 7 plugs to drain an engine should not be designing anything,
I own Porsches and they also have dry sump systems, only have to deal with 2 plugs. I was seriously thinking of getting an R8, but after seeing this I have to give it a second thought.
Why buy little bottles of oil so expensive
So good car and so shitty oil ;-;
The v10 R8 is a Lamborghini engine. Audi covers the logo on the engine block with an epoxy type coating.
So? actually it's a VAG engine.
The Lamborghini engine is actually an Audi engine. The Hurican is based completely on the R8
The Lamborghini engine is actually an Audi engine. The Hurican is based completely on the R8.
Actually it’s both a audi/lamborghini engine because the two worked together to create the 5.2
dude whats with the details? its not like this a honda or a ford that most people have.
just show us the oil change and thats fine.
This is actually intended as a DIY fot R8 owners
What type of oil does it take?
the liquid type of oil
