In general, though, modern cars can manage 5,000 to 7,500 miles between oil changes. If your vehicle calls for a blended or full synthetic oil, you can push that to 10,000 miles. Old cars (i.e., those that date back to a time before synthetic oils became mainstream) will have relatively short oil-change intervals in comparison.
Synthetic motor oils can be used twice as long as conventional motor oils. Changing only your oil filter every 3000 miles and topping off the oil can extend drain intervals. Fact Quaker StateĀ® does not recommend extending oil drain intervals beyond the āsevere serviceā maintenance interval of three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The Audi "Service Due" Indicator Light -- The 'service due' indicator located on your Audi dashboard signifies that your vehicle is in need of a more comprehensive check-up. In other words, this indicator light should not be confused with the Audi oil change indicator light. In general, most Audis will be due for general service every 10,000
1. I was reading the service manual of Audi Q3 and was surprised to know the recommended oil change interval of new car is 30000 kms or 730 days. Compare this to a suzuki sedan or even a hatch that recommends to change the engine oil after 10000 kms or 6 months.Even a 100 cc commuter bike it is recommended to change the oil after 4000 kms or 4
Long gone is the recommendation to change your oil every 3,000 miles. In looking at 2014 models, most automakers specify oil changes at 7,500 or 10,000 miles. The shortest oil change interval is 5,000 miles, and the longest is 15,000 miles. When it comes to scheduling your oil changes, the first and most important rule is to reference your
Moonlightblue. I read a study a while back where a guy pulled samples every 1,000 miles and sent them to Blackstone Lab for analysis and the consensus was that Mobil 1 went 15,000 miles before needing changed. The Audi interval is 10,000 miles or 1 year so you will be fine with a yearly change on a low mileage car.

The B8 A4 (and the B9 S4) had the ZF 8-speed transmission where Audi quoted no service interval but ZF said to do every 60k or so. Your question is worded like one who owns the ZF transmission
General Motors and a number of European vehicles have done away with recommended oil change intervals altogether and now use an "oil reminder" light to signal the driver when an oil change is needed. On some of these (Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW and Volvo), a scan tool or a special service tool is required to reset the oil service
