When it’s time for an Audi oil change, you want it done right, by an experienced team that’s specially trained to work on your luxury automobile. At Audi Van Nuys, our service professionals will not only supply an expert oil change, but also provide several complimentary checks to ensure everything associated with your engine is running smooth too. Here’s an overview of the process.

How Often Does My Car Need An Oil Change?

Under normal driving conditions and using high-quality synthetic oil, your Audi car needs its oil changed approximately every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you make frequent short trips or regularly drive in stop-and-go traffic, your car’s recommended oil change interval could be as short as 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Another factor is the age of your vehicle. For example, an Audi model that’s over 10 years old might require an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

What Does an Oil Change Include?

An oil change at our Van Nuys, CA, Audi dealership begins with removing the old oil filter and draining the old oil from your car. We then pour fresh oil into the engine and insert a new filter. Once this is done, we conduct a thorough multipoint inspection of several key safety and wear-and-tear parts. This inspection includes:

• Measuring brake pad thickness and brake rotor condition, and checking the brake-wear sensors.
• Inspecting the suspension and steering – specifically, the control-arm brushings, tie rods, and ball joints.
• Checking for leaks in areas of the engine such as the oil cooler lines, valve-cover gasket, and oil-filter housing gasket.
• Confirming the tires’ tread-depth and air pressure.

We also review your car’s electronics and battery. For the electronics, this review could include a full diagnostic scan to identify and correct potential issues (e.g., any dashboard lights that have been triggered). We’ll conduct a load test to assess the battery’s health, and we’ll also confirm the battery is secure in its carriage and that the nodes are clean.
