The 2020 Audi S5 with its turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder CWGD engine is engineered for performance, making oil changes essential for long-term reliability and power. Using the right oil, filter, and following a precise schedule helps protect your turbo and advanced internals. Whether you’re a DIYer or want the fastest expert service, find a Costa Oil near you for a fast, factory-spec oil change.
What Oil Does a 2020 Audi S5 Take?
Choosing the correct engine oil is crucial for your 2020 Audi S5. Audi specifically recommends high-quality full synthetic oil to protect the twin-scroll turbocharger and ensure maximum engine life. The required oil viscosity for all temperature ranges is 0W-20. Always confirm your owner’s manual, but these are the recommended options:
- 0W-20: Suitable for all ambient temperatures (the only recommended grade for this S5).
Why 0W-20? This viscosity flows quickly at startup and provides enhanced protection for turbocharged engines, regardless of weather. Lower viscosity reduces internal friction, improving fuel efficiency and reducing wear. Inferior or non-spec oils risk sludge buildup and turbo damage.
2020 Audi S5 Oil Capacity
The engine oil capacity for the 2020 Audi S5 3.0L turbo is 7.7 quarts (7.3 liters), including the oil filter. Always double-check the dipstick after filling. If you overfill the crankcase, you could experience oil foaming, smoke from the exhaust, leaks, or even damage to gaskets and catalytic converters. If in doubt, have our techs fill it to perfection—you can find your nearest Costa Oil location for peace of mind.
How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2020 Audi S5?
For the 2020 Audi S5, Audi recommends changing the engine oil at intervals not to exceed 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, when using approved full synthetic oil. Conventional oil is not suitable for Audis of this generation—synthetic is mandatory for optimal turbo protection and longevity. In severe driving conditions (lots of short trips, stop-and-go, dusty climate, or spirited driving), shorten your oil change interval to every 5,000 miles.
Signs your oil needs changing sooner include:
- Darker, gritty oil on the dipstick
- Check Engine or low oil warning lights
- Engine is louder than usual
- Decreased performance
- Burnt oil smell
Oil Filter for the 2020 Audi S5
The oil filter in your 2020 Audi S5 removes contaminants and metal particles, protecting vital engine parts and your turbocharger. Using a low-quality or generic oil filter can cause restriction, bypass events, or inferior filtration—putting your engine at risk. Always opt for an OEM-spec or premium-quality filter approved for your S5’s oil pressure and flow requirements. At Costa Oil, we use only trusted, manufacturer-recommended filters to match your Audi’s needs. If you’re performing DIY maintenance, you might also consider the Costa Oil Air Filter and Costa Oil Cabin Air Filter for complete filtration coverage.
