Hi Guys,
How often do you think I need to change the oil for the A6 Audi 2002.
Thanks,
Gajen

RE: Oil Change
Depends. How hard do you drive? Are you using synthetic or dino oil?

RE: Oil Change
Audi recommends two a year, but theyre smoking crack. Especially with a turbo engine running dino oil. With sythetic oil id maybe stretch it to 5k miles. I never recommend going more than 3k on a turbo motor even with synthetic oil. Look at it this way thou, if your motor blows at 70k who pays for it.

RE: Oil Change
a bit of over kill personally, min 6,000 to 10,000 on normal semi, double that on full synthetic 0w/30 that's why they call it long life
