The Audi A4L is recommended to be serviced every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months. Routine maintenance items mainly include the replacement of engine oil and oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, and pollen filter, as well as the replacement of spark plugs and related system inspection items such as transmission oil. The Audi A4L is a mid-size sedan with a wheelbase of 2908mm, body dimensions of 4761mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1439mm in height, a maximum power of 140kW, and a maximum torque of 320Nm.

I've been driving an Audi A4L for many years, so let me share my experience: The official recommendation is generally to service it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first—this is pretty much the standard for Audi. Since my car spends a lot of time on highways, sometimes stretching it to 12,000 kilometers is fine. But if you're stuck in city traffic a lot, it's better to get it serviced earlier, around 7,000-8,000 kilometers, because frequent stop-and-go driving accelerates oil degradation. The main service items include changing the oil filter and checking the brake system—don’t skimp on these small costs, as engine repairs can be a hassle if issues arise. Pay attention to driving habits, like avoiding aggressive throttle inputs, as that can shorten the service interval. In short, referring to the owner’s manual is the most reliable approach, since everyone’s car condition varies. Regular check-ups can extend your car’s lifespan.
