I just got my Audi A4L last year, and the 4S dealership said the first service is due at 10,000 kilometers or one year, whichever comes first. However, an experienced driver friend of mine suggested going in at 8,000 kilometers, saying that metal debris from the engine break-in period could affect engine longevity. I compromised and did the first service at 9,000 kilometers, switching to full synthetic oil. Remember to bring the first service card—the initial maintenance is free but requires an appointment. If you drive aggressively, you might want to service it earlier, especially if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, as constant engine starts and stops are harder on the car. During the service, the technician will also check the tires and brake pads—don’t overlook these details.

As someone who frequently drives long distances, my A4L reached its first maintenance mileage in just six months. The official manual clearly states the first service at 10,000 kilometers, but actual recommendations should consider driving habits. For instance, with my daily highway commute, the engine operates under low load, so I can follow the standard interval. However, if you often drive short distances in the city, you should change the oil at 8,000 kilometers because frequent cold starts generate more carbon deposits. The key focus of the first service is replacing the engine oil and oil filter, and it's particularly important to specify the use of original 0W-20 grade oil. Additionally, have them check the condition of the coolant and brake fluid, as these can also develop minor issues in new cars.

The first maintenance is particularly important for a new car. My advice is not to wait until the 10,000 km upper limit. Although the manual suggests 10,000 km, I did mine at 7,000 km when I noticed the engine oil color darkening. Remember three things: book an appointment in advance to avoid queues; supervise the technician during the oil change to ensure all old oil is drained; check if the air filter needs replacing. Some shops may push for engine cleaning services, which are completely unnecessary for a new car. After the maintenance, driving on the highway felt smoother, and fuel consumption even dropped by 0.5 liters.
