Audi recommends changing your 1983 4000’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 4000 in the above table. Outside of Audi-recommended oil change intervals, your 4000 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Audi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Audi 4000. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
