The 2011 AudiQ5 3.2 liter engine needs 6.6 US quarts of 5W-30 motor oil. To keep it running smoothly, it's recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months with synthetic oil, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers improved lubrication, longer time between oil changes, and better performance in extreme weather. Thinner synthetic oil flows more easily in cold temperatures, protecting engine parts from friction and corrosion. A lube and filter service for the AudiQ5 costs between $150-$168 including parts and labor.
The 2011 Audi Q5 needs to use SAE 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40, or 5W-30 oil that has the API Certification Seal. You'll need about 6.6 US quarts (6.2 liters) of engine oil for the 2011 Audi Q5.
Audi suggests using 5W-40 more than any other oil weight option.
