How do I change my Audi A3's oil?

I recently purchased a 2019 Audi A3 and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil and what type of oil I should use. Can I do it myself or do I need to take it to a mechanic? Any other tips for maintaining my car's engine?

Hi Samantha, congratulations on your new Audi A3! The recommended oil change interval for your vehicle is every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. It is best to use a fully synthetic oil with a grade of 5W-40 or 0W-40. While it is possible to change the oil yourself, it's recommended to take it to a certified mechanic to ensure it is done properly.

Hi Samantha, when it comes to maintaining your car's engine, regular oil changes are definitely important. In addition, make sure to check your oil level regularly and top it up if it's low. It's also a good idea to periodically inspect your engine for any leaks or unusual noises. By taking care of your engine, you can ensure your Audi A3 runs smoothly for years to come.

Hi Samantha, there is no harm in changing your oil more frequently than the recommended interval, especially if you do a lot of city driving or short trips. However, if you do decide to do it yourself, make sure you properly dispose of the used oil and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the type and quantity of oil to use. Happy driving!
