2008 Audi R8 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Audi R8 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Audi R8 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Audi R8 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Audi exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Audi R8 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Audi R8 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Audi R8 to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Audi R8 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my R8's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Audi R8 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
