AUDI A4 1.8 TURBO ENGINE. OIL LIGHT
If the low oil pressure light comes on while you’re driving it’s probably due to known oil sludge problems. In some cases the light will come on and then the engine will shut itself down to prevent from further damage.
Build up and causes the oil pump pick up strainer to become clogged. This causes, in many cases, extensive engine damage as well as it can create problems with your turbo charger. This particular problem applies to all 1.8 engines build from 1998 to 2005 in part due to extended oil intervals recommended by the factory.
We at German Sport we do recommended to use fully synthetic Mobile 1 oil (5w-40) to protect your engine and we recommend that your oil is replaced in 5000 miles intervals.
