Hi.. does anybody know the frequency of engine oil refill in an Audi A4 2litre saloon.?
How frequently can one see the display light/ beep showing for engine oil? How many miles can one run the car before engine oil is filled after the beep?

The oil change interval in the US is every 10,000 miles. Is the light a service light, an oil pressure light, or an oil level light? If you look in your glove box, there should be an explanation of which light is which, either on own or in the owner's manual.

That being said:
If it's a service light, your car should be taken to the dealer soon for service.

If it's a oil pressure light, you shouldn't drive it. Check the oil level on the dipstick, top off with Audi accepted synthetic oil. If the level is normal, get it to a dealer ASAP.

If it's an oil level light just check the oil level on the dipstick and fill therefore with Audi accepted synthetic oil. There will be two lines, or holes, near the bottom of the dipstick, the oil level should be someplace in between them.

By the way all turbocharged engines use a bit more oil than non turbo N/A engines.

Let me now if you have any questions.

Check your oil using the dip stick .The servicing intervals are worked out by your cars engine management system.Depending how the cars driven the intervals will all be different.

Audi factory recommends every 10k, but I could propose to change it every 5k.

Mobil one 0w40 is a good kind of oil for Audi

Every 3,000 miles or three months.
