Hi!

So, my local dealer wants $179 for just and oil/filter change on my 2015 Q5 3.0T ...OR... $500+ for the 15,000-mile scheduled service.

Here are my questions:

1) Do the scheduled service jobs have to be completed at the dealership to maintain the warranty?

2) Does the oil/filter change require special tools that a chain lube shop may not have?

3) Is the drain plug required to be changed with every service?

4) Are there any other questions I should have asked?

Thanks!
