Audi recommends having your 2008 Audi S5’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your S5 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

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.
