Anyone know if the Q5 3.2 and the 3.0T use the same one? I found a site that lists the same part number for both engines. It does not specify which 3.0T however. The oil capacities for the various 3.0T versions vary quite a bit. The Q5 272hp takes 9.0 qts, / Q7 280hp - 8.5 qts, / A6, A7 & A8 310 and 333hp - 7.2 qts. Don't know why the new Q5 engine takes more oil than the higher hp models? Bigger filter? Any engineers out there? If the 3.0T dipsticks are all the same as the 3.2 (7.5 qts), the oil pans must be different depths which would explain why full at 7.2 qts and 9.0 qts would be at the same mark. I'm thinking about keeping my old one when I trade the car in a couple of months. While I'm waiting I've been coming up with stupid things like this to obsess about.
Thanks,

Do not get me wrong
I really do not understand why you are seeking information for a part that costs $ 20
This data has been not found for the Q5 3.0 TFSI in the official catalog of spare parts
It will be available when you start deliveries of the same model

You're right, it's not the $20 so much as wanting to know if it fits. If there's no information yet I'll just wait.

Thanks,

As I mentioned, try the people at europaparts. When I was looking for a dipstick I called my dealer and three others. They all said there is NO part number for a dipstick for my 2012 3.2.

Bookmarked the site, thank you

You must know that officially there is no dipstick for Q5 (3.2 FSI or 2.0TFSI).
The fact that they gave you the dipstick from other models
