Default Engine Oil Quantity

Hey Guys,

I just bought a 2002 A4 V6 Q and it didn't come with owners manual.

What is the quantity engine oil I can put in?

How can I tell the maximum level reading from the dip stick?

Thanks guys,
John

My '02 book says 6.3 quarts for a V6. It says 3.7 quarts for my I4 but it takes more like 4 quarts with filter.

The oil is full when it is at the top of the hatch marks on the dip stick. Should not be over hatch.

Check oil when engine is off and it has sat for a minute or 2.

Did you look under the steering colum in the pocket for the owners manual? They are not in the glove box.

How much oil can depend on the filter you use too. When i did the oil in my 3.0 it took very near 7 quarts with a OEM filter from the dealer...book says 6.3.
