When to Change 2009 Audi Q5 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Audi Q5’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2009 Q5’s oil should be changed according to Audi’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Q5 in the above table. Outside of Audi-recommended oil change intervals, your Q5 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Audi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Audi Q5. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
