What are the standard Audi maintenance intervals?
Every Audi model follows a factory-set service schedule based on its engine, performance level, and driving conditions. An Audi Q5 or A6 may call for spark plugs at 60k miles, while S and RS models require them sooner due to increased output.
Below are common Audi maintenance intervals tailored for Lake Oswego drivers.

- Oil & Filter Change
- Vehicle Inspection
While Audi’s factory interval reaches 10,000 miles, most experts agree that modern TFSI engines benefit from 5,000-mile oil intervals to reduce carbon buildup and protect turbochargers.
We use OEM-quality filters and Audi-approved synthetic oil.
