Your 2001 S8’s oil should be changed according to Audi’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your S8 in the above table. Outside of Audi-recommended oil change intervals, your S8 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 car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Audi recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Audi S8. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
