Can I change my Audi oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Audi A3 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Audi A3?

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2007 Audi A3? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Audi recommends changing your 2007 A3’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your A3 in the above table. Outside of Audi-recommended oil change intervals, your A3 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Audi A3. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
