Maintainence on A4 B7
I have a question. I picked up my B7 last week and I just got the service packet today and was looking it over. It shows the first service at 5000 miles, and then every service after that is on 10,000 mile intervals. 10,000 miles on the same oil, synthetic or not, is not happening in my car. But I have heard that Audi redesigned something, not sure what, but now you have to have a "special" tool to change your own oil. Any truth to this? Thanks for any help!
I plan on changing my oil more frequently than the Audi suggested. I'm not sure about the special too though. I did hear the new filters are not like the old ones. They are cartridges or something. One of these weekends i'll stick my head under the car and take a peak.
I had the cartridge style on my VR6 golf... its pretty clever... its like, "hey, weve taken the steel casing off the filters... and now we're going to charge you more"
Yep, was 26 bucks or something like that for the paper oil filter and little seal.
You know whats fun? 1800% mark-ups.
