Need more info about 2020 Audi R8 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2020 R8’s oil should be changed according to Audi’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Audi R8. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
