Oil Change Q&A for Your 1988 Audi 90 Quattro

  • What can low oil do to my Audi 90 Quattro engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your 90 Quattro’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Audi 90 Quattro oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Audi 90 Quattro spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Audi 90 Quattro oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Audi 90 Quattro oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Audi 90 Quattro oil light illuminated? Your Audi 90 Quattro oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my 90 Quattro’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Audi 90 Quattro oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
