When to Change 2002 Audi S8 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2002 Audi S8? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Audi recommends having your 2002 Audi S8’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your S8 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Audi if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, 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.
