Servicing advice...

Post by beejay » Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:58 pm

Guys,

Can anyone tell me how many litres of Oil the RS takes for an Oil change and what's the best recommended oil for standard car, town driving ?

Also, what type of brake fluid is standard from Audi ?

And lastly, Is the pollen filter an easy job to replace ?

Thanks
Bj

6 litres of oil. Synta Gold 5w40.

Best brake fluid IMO is Motul race fluid

Yes.

You can change the pollen filter in a couple of minutes, just unscrew the cover off the passenger side at the back of the engine bay and it's underneath it.
