Checking and Filling

Fuel

Types of gasoline 

The correct gasoline grade is stated on the inside of the fuel filler door.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
and must only be driven with unleaded gasoline.
Audi recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­oline. For additional information on TOP TIER De­tergent Gasoline, visit www.toptiergas.com.
The individual gasoline grades are differentiated
by octane ratings. This value is given with (R
+M)/2 equating to AKI or RON.
The headings below match the sticker in the fuel filler door (examples):
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY MIN. (R+M)/2 87 Regular/ MIN. RON 91 Regular
Use regular gasoline with a minimum of 87 AKI /
91 RON ¢(D.
Audi recommends using premium gasoline with a minimum 91 AK.I/ 95 RON to achieve the rated horsepower and torque.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R +M)/2 91 / SUPER MIN. RON 95
Using premium gasoline with a minimum 91 AKI/ 95 RON is recommended.
If premium gasoline is not available, you can also use regular gasoline 87 AKI/ 91 RON. However, this does reduce the engine power slightly.
UNLEADED FUEL ONLY PREMIUM MIN. (R +M)/2 93 / SUPER PLUS MIN. RON 98
Using premium plus gasoline with at least 93 AKI/ 98. RON is recommended.
If no premium plus gasoline is available, you can also use premium gasoline with 91 AKI/ 95 RON. However, this does reduce the engine power slightly.

Note 

• Filling the tank just one time with leaded fuel or other metallic additives will cause permanent deterioration to the catalytic converter function.
• When gasoline with an octane rating that is too low is used, high speeds or heavy engine load can lead to engine damage.

Tips: The vehicle may be filled with fuel that has a higher octane rating than what is required by the engine.

Gasoline mixture

• Gasoline with alcohol (ethanol)
  You can fuel your vehicle with unleaded gasoline that has an ethanol content of up to 15%, for ex­ample ”El 5″.
• Gasoline adapted to the season
  Many gasoline fuels are adapted to the seasons. When the season changes, refueling at high-traf­fic .gas stations is recommended. It is more likely that the gasoline will be suitable for the season there.

Note 

• Do not use gasoline that does not meet the specifications.
• Ethanol fuels with a high ethanol percent­age, such as E30 – El 00, must not be used. The fuel system will be damaged!
• Methanol fuels with a high methanol per­centagel such as MS – Ml 00, must not be used. The fuel system and the engine will be damaged.
• if you are unable to find out if a specific gas­oline mixture meets the specifications, ask the gas station operator or their fuel suppli­er.
• Do not use any gasoline mixture whose composition cannot be identified.
• Audi does not assume any responsibility for damage to the fuel system or for performance problems caused by using gasoline mixtures different from those specified. This type of damage also,o does not fall under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or under the emissions control system warranty.
• If you notice higher fuel, consumption, or poor handling or performance, problems due to such gasoline mixtures, Audi recom­mends fueling with unblended gasoline.
