Hi Guys,

How often do you think I need to change the oil for the A6 Audi 2002.

Thanks,
Gajen

 

Depends. How hard do you drive? Are you using synthetic or dino oil?

 

i use synthetic mobil one (along w/ a bunch of other audi owners). my changes last 6 months/6000 miles.

 

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.

 

Thank you all for the input. I really appreciated that. I bought my Audi within less than a month. I dont really know if my Audi have what type of oil. Can you guys recommend me any type of oil.

Thanks,
Gajen

 

book says,
cold climate use 5w/30 semi synthetic.

moderate climate use 15w/40 - 10w40 semi
long life full synthetic 0w/30 VW spec 503.00/503.01.

hot climate 20w/40 semi.

oil classification AP/ACEA: SG/A2-96

 

Thank you very much for the info. Many Many Thanks,

Gajen

 

im meticulous so i change the oil every 3000-3500 miles

 

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

 

Thank You Guys for the input and your time. I reaspect that. I am new to the forum but you guys are great with responding.

Thanks Again.
Gajen
