1998 Audi A8 Maintenance

Take care of your Audi A8 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your A8 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get A8 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1998 Audi A8 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your A8 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Audi A8 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Audi A8 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 A8's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1998 Audi A8 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Audi A8 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your A8 stranded. Your Audi A8 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1998 Audi A8 running newer, longer. To learn how often Audi recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 A8, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1998 Audi A8.
