2016 Audi A3 Sportback e-tron Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Audi A3 Sportback e-tron? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your A3 Sportback e-tron’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Audi A3 Sportback e-tron oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Audi A3 Sportback e-tron spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Audi A3 Sportback e-tron? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Audi A3 Sportback e-tron oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Audi A3 Sportback e-tron oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Audi A3 Sportback e-tron oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my A3 Sportback e-tron's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Audi A3 Sportback e-tron during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
