Why Get An Oil Change For Your Audi?

One of the easiest and least expensive ways to extend the life of your Audi is regular oil maintenance. As an essential part of keeping your engine running like the day it was new, replacing your engine oil helps keep critical internal engine components properly lubricated and protected against wear and tear. If you're in need of an oil change, you can trust our team of experts at Audi Bellingham to give your vehicle the attention it deserves.


When To Change The Oil In Your Audi?

We recommend referring to your Owner's Manual for exact information on oil change intervals. Newer Audi models are typically designed for 10,000 mile oil maintenance intervals, but older models may require more frequent oil changes. Refer to your owner's manual or speak with our knowledgeable Service Consultants for an exact recommendation for your specific Audi vehicle. It's also important to include other factors such as local climate and driving habits into your consideration for how often your oil needs changed.

How To Know If You Have a Problem With Your Engine Oil

You can potentially save a lot of money, inconvenience, and frustration down the road if you're able to identify the signs or symptoms of an engine oil related problem. Below you will find a few common symptoms that will help you discover if you may have an engine oil related problem.

Oil Puddles or Stains Under Your Audi

Spotting oil underneath your Audi can be tricky, especially in the summertime and warm days in the Bellingham area. It's common for your vehicle's air conditioning system to drip water. Be sure not to confuse this for oil. If you do spot oil drops, stains, or puddles collecting under your Audi, we recommend scheduling a service appointment as soon as possible. Common areas to check for leaking engine oil include the oil pan drain plug, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. A loss of engine oil can lead to potentially serious engine issues, making it important to address this issue quickly.

Engine Oil Light is Blinking

If a blinking or steady Engine Oil Warning Light appears on your dashboard, your Audi is suffering from low oil pressure. Your engine requires a certain amount of oil in order to stay properly lubricated and protected from harmful heat and friction. If a blinking oil light appears, we recommend safely coming to a stop and contact the Service Center at Audi Bellingham to address the issue. Continuing to drive with low oil pressure risks serious potential damage to your Audi.
