2001 Audi S8 Maintenance

When it comes to your Audi S8, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your S8 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine S8 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2001 Audi S8!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Audi themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your S8 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 Audi S8 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2001 Audi S8 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your S8’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2001 Audi S8 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S8 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Audi S8 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S8) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Audi S8 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2001 Audi S8's engine run smoother. See Audi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2001 S8 in the chart at the top of this page.
