How often should I change the engine oil in my Audi A8?

I just bought a new Audi A8 and I'm not sure how often I should change the engine oil. Can I follow the recommended schedule or should I change it more frequently?

The recommended oil change interval for the Audi A8 is every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. However, if you tend to drive in harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures or dusty roads, it's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months.

I personally change the oil in my Audi A8 every 5,000 miles just to be on the safe side. It's a small investment that can greatly improve the longevity and performance of your car.
