Why Change the Engine Oil in Your Audi?

The engine oil in your Audi plays an important role in keeping internal parts and components lubricated. It protects them from heat and wear and tear. The best way to extend the life of your engine and keep it running at peak performance is to regularly replace the oil.

When to Change the Oil in Your Audi?

We recommend referring to your Owner's Manual for exact information on oil change intervals. Most newer Audi vehicles are approved for 10,000 mile oil changes, but older Audi models may require more frequent oil changes. Refer to your Owner's Manual, or check with your Service Consultant for the exact recommendation for your specific Audi. Remember to take into consideration other factors such as your daily commute and local climate. You vehicle may need more frequent oil changes if your commute includes stop-and-go traffic or off-road driving.

How to Know if you Have a Problem with your Engine Oil

There's a few common warning signs of a potential engine oil related issue with your Audi.

Oil Stains Underneath Your Vehicle

Not all stains underneath your vehicle mean you have an oil related problem. Especially in the summer time, your air conditioner may begin to drip water under your vehicle. Be sure not to mistake this as an oil leak. If you do find oil drops or puddles collecting under your car, we recommend scheduling a service appointment as soon as possible. If your engine is running without enough oil, it can cause some serious damage. Common areas to look for at the start of an oil leak are valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket or even the oil pan drain plug.

Low Oil Pressure Indicator Light

It's important to have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible if you see an oil pressure warning light appear on your dashboard. The engine requires a specific amount of oil and oil pressure to properly lubricate and protect your engine. Ignoring the low oil pressure light can result in significant engine damage, which is why we recommend shutting your vehicle off, calling your service consultant, and having your Audi towed to the dealership if your Audi is displaying this warning light.
