How Often to Change 2010 Audi S6 Oil

Need more info about 2010 Audi S6 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of 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.”

Audi recommends having your 2010 Audi S6’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Audi-recommended oil change intervals, your S6 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Audi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Audi S6. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

During your oil change service, a technician will change your S6's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your S6 by considering your driving style, and odometer.

2010 Audi S6 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Audi S6 motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Audi S6 engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Audi S6 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Audi S6 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Audi S6 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Audi S6 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Audi S6 oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Audi S6 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my S6's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Audi S6 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.
