When should I service my Audi?
There are typically two types of service regime available for your Audi (but you should always check with your Audi Centre as exceptions apply).
Whichever regime you choose your MMI (Multi-Media Interface) or myAudi account can show you when servicing is due. If you’re using the myAudi or Connect plug and play app, you can be notified automatically when you’re due a service via your smartphone.
It can even notify your preferred Audi Centre to get in touch for booking. In addition to oil and inspection servicing and depending on your particular car there are a number of other items that require replacement at specific times or distances such as: air filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, brake fluid, transmission oil. Your Audi Centre will be able to advise on the specifics for your car.
Flexible Regime Overview
- Oil Service (petrol/diesel cars) based on oil degradation* but to a maximum of 18,600miles (30,000km)/or 2 years, whichever occurs first
Inspection Service every 18,600miles (30,000km)/2 years, whichever occurs first
The oil change service is the flexible element as the car calculates the rate at which the oil degrades which is influenced by a number of factors, such as driving style, journey types and ambient temperature. The actual mileage achieved before the oil change service is required can be anywhere between 9,300miles and 18,600miles. For example, customers driving longer, motorway journeys or using lighter engine loads may require the oil change closer to the maximum mileage. An oil change service will be due after 2 years, irrespective of mileage, if it has not been completed earlier.
The flexible regime is suitable for the vast majority of cars and is designed to be the most cost effective, but you may still prefer that your car is set to a fixed regime or it may not be eligible for the flexible regime. Please liaise with your Audi Centre.
Fixed Regime Overview
- Oil Service (petrol/diesel cars) every 9,300 miles (15,000km)/1 year, whichever occurs first
- Inspection Service every 18,600miles (30,000km)/2 years, whichever occurs first (some Battery Electric Vehicles have a fixed inspection regime of 2 years but with no mileage criteria. Check with your Audi Centre for details).
Some customers prefer the fixed regime (where available) as visiting an Audi Centre annually can provide extra peace of mind, the oil and inspection services can be completed in the same visit in the second year and they can budget with more certainty.
