1996 Audi A4 Quattro Maintenance

Take care of your Audi A4 Quattro and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your A4 Quattro has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine A4 Quattro maintenance. Just follow your 1996 Audi A4 Quattro maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Audi, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your A4 Quattro running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1996 Audi A4 Quattro problems in the future.

Bring your 1996 Audi A4 Quattro to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your A4 Quattro's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Audi A4 Quattro. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your A4 Quattro may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Audi A4 Quattro battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Audi A4 Quattro won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1996 Audi A4 Quattro's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1996 A4 Quattro. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1996 Audi A4 Quattro? We can help with that, too!
