Default Oil Capacity w/ Big Oil Filter

Put the big filter on for the first time. What is the oil capacity? I have ~4.5 quarts in it. I also don't remember the oil level goin down when the engine is on vs when the car is off. Maybe I always just checked with the engine off before.

Default Re: IIRC its negledgable difference.

With the engine off the level is at the top of the normal zone. With the engine running, it goes down to just below the normal zone.

Oil level needs to be checked with the engine off (and wait at least a few minutes).

Default Exactly 4.25 quarts...

I've changed in the oil with the larger filter a number of times in both my A4s and they take 4.25 right on the button.
