1996 Audi A6 Quattro Maintenance Schedule

You want your Audi A6 Quattro to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your A6 Quattro. 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 A6 Quattro maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1996 Audi A6 Quattro!

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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your A6 Quattro's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Audi A6 Quattro problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Audi A6 Quattro for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your A6 Quattro. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1996 Audi A6 Quattro? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Audi A6 Quattro battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your A6 Quattro stranded. Your Audi A6 Quattro won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Audi A6 Quattro running newer, longer. See Audi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1996 A6 Quattro in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1996 Audi A6 Quattro? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Audi A6 Quattro can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

Components within your Audi A6 Quattro's steering system require regular maintenance.
