How Often to Get 2000 Audi S4 Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Audi S4’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Audi recommends having your 2000 Audi S4’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your S4 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Audi recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Audi S4. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
