2012 Audi A3 Oil Change Service

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2012 Audi A3? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of 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.”

Your 2012 A3’s oil should be changed according to Audi’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your A3 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Audi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Audi A3. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2012 Audi A3 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Audi has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2012 A3. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your A3's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your A3 by considering your driving preferences, climate,
