It's not particularly difficult but certainly not easier than the dealership or a specialy shop doing so. I change my own at the interim intervals between the AudiCare, mostly just because I like tinkering around cars, but again, it's not easier than having a shop do it, not to mention you have to properly dispose of the used oil (most places that sell oil will take used oil).

There are detailed DIY threads here and/or on other Audi forums.

I just changed my oil for the first time (actually, first time for any car!) following the DIY jagtoes linked above. It took me a couple hours, but wasn't especially difficult.

Well done! You've now learned a little more about automotives and have the satisfaction of a job done yourself. The next time won't take you nearly as long.
