How often should I service my 2004 Audi A8 Quattro?

Here’s Why 2004 Audi A8 Quattro Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Audi A8 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 A8 Quattro. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine A8 Quattro maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2004 Audi A8 Quattro!

Audi knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your A8 Quattro's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2004 Audi A8 Quattro problems.

Overview of Essential Audi A8 Quattro Maintenance Needs

Bring your 2004 Audi A8 Quattro to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your A8 Quattro's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2004 Audi A8 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Audi A8 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! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your A8 Quattro stranded. Your Audi A8 Quattro won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2004 Audi A8 Quattro running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2004 A8 Quattro. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2004 Audi A8 Quattro? We can help with that, too!

Take an active role in maintaining your 2004 Audi A8 Quattro. Get answers to common Audi A8 Quattro maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Audi A8 Quattro alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Audi A8 Quattro? If your Audi A8 Quattro has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  •  Why are my Audi dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Audi A8 Quattro in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
