00 Oil Filling Procedure for W12 engines 00 17 94 2035581/3 June 14, 2017. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 00 number 14-64 dated June 30, 2014 for reasons listed below. Model(s) Year VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment A8 2012 - 2017 All 6.3 FSI engine Condition REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Purpose 3 - Revised header data (Added model year) Revised Service (Added QR code) 2 06/30/2014 Revised header data (Added model year) 1 10/21/2013 Initial publication Although the correct amount of oil was added to the engine during an oil change service, a check of the oil level shows that the oil level is not okay. Technical Background When an unapproved aftermarket speed-filling device is used to add oil to a W12 engine, the increased oil flow rate forces oil into the intake manifold or combustion chamber and damages the engine. For a detailed view of the W12 engine, see the image below (Figure 1). Page 1 of 4 © 2017 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Service 1. Verify whether or not oil has entered either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber. 2. If oil is found in any of these areas, remove the oil. 3. Fill the engine with the correct amount of oil as listed in the vehicle’s Fluid Capacity Table in Elsa. (See Repair Manual >> Maintenance >>Maintenance Procedures >>Engine Oil, Draining/Extracting and Removing and Installing Filter >> 6.3L TFSI Gasoline Engine for more information). When filling the engine with oil, use overhead oil dispensers, quart containers of oil, or oil-filling containers that do not completely seal the filler cap receptacle on the oil separator or valve cover. 4. Allow the oil to drain into the oil pan. 5. Check that the oil level is correct before starting the engine. 6. For additional information on how to properly fill the W12 engine with oil, please see the following video: https://audiacademy.kzoplatform.com/player/medium/91005015600556172 1. Figure 2.

Damages caused by speed-filling devices and funnels that have an airtight seal at the cap are not warrantable and will not be reimbursed. Page 3 of 4 © 2017 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.
