1. Why Do I Need an Oil Change?

Although it may seem like an inconvenience at the moment, changing your oil at your manufacturer's recommended intervals could save you thousands of dollars in further repair.

That's because changing your oil regularly keeps your engine lubricated and running smoothly at a reasonably inexpensive cost when compared to engine malfunctions and complications.

Bring your Audi into Audi Clearwater today for your regular oil changes or at any sign of trouble. In the long run, you'll be glad you did. Also remember, we also service all makes and models.

2. How Often Should I Change My Oil?

This is a question we get asked a lot at Audi Clearwater, how often should I really change my oil?

The short answer, it depends on your driving and your car. We know it's not the answer you were hoping for. However, we can give you a few quick tips to help you determine whether your oil change should really be at 3,000, 5,000, 7,000 or 10,000-mile intervals. First of all, do you have a new car? That you don't drive much? If you've answered yes to both of these questions the answer is likely 5,000 miles.

However, if you drive a little more the likely answer will be every 3,000 miles.

If you're still not sure, it's always a good idea to take a look at your manual or bring it in and let one of our expert techs take a look at it.

3. Where Do I Find My Recommended Oil Change Schedule?

You can always search for your vehicle's recommended schedule online to see what your manufacturer recommends. Again, your recommended schedule will vary greatly depending on whether you have a new car, a CPO, or a used car.

If you don't have access to your manual it's always a good idea to visit a professional to let them inspect it to ensure you're on the correct oil change schedule.

4. What is the Recommended Oil Change Interval on a Certified Pre-Owned or Used Audi?

If you've purchased your Certified Pre-Owned Audi from a reputable dealer, they should have provided you with a recommended maintenance schedule based on the CPO or used Audi's current condition. If you're still not sure exactly what your oil change schedule should be, you can always stop by Audi Clearwater and let one of our Audi Master Certified Technicians take a look.

5. Do I Really Need to Use Premium Synthetic Engine Oil on My Audi?

As a luxury car owner, choosing what's best for your car now might save you thousands in the future. A reputable service shop will only use the recommended oil and parts on your car for your safety.
