When to Change 2018 Audi SQ5 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Audi SQ5’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Audi recommends changing your 2018 SQ5’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SQ5 in the above table. Outside of Audi-recommended oil change intervals, your SQ5 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, 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, 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 SQ5. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
