When the vehicle prompts 'Change oil immediately,' you can still drive approximately 10,000 kilometers. Below is some information about oil changes: 1. New cars: Under normal driving conditions, if synthetic oil is used, new cars can generally have their oil changed every 10,000 kilometers, and some can even go up to 20,000 kilometers. Automotive maintenance professionals consider 'normal driving' to mean frequently driving on highways with minimal stop-and-go traffic. However, if you often drive in the city, encountering traffic lights everywhere, frequent traffic jams, and most trips are no more than a dozen kilometers, this type of driving is considered 'severe driving.' 2. Importance: Oil is to a car what blood is to the human body, with the engine being the heart of the car. During engine operation, piston movement generates friction, and gasoline combustion in the cylinders can raise temperatures inside the engine to as high as 600°C, also producing metal particles and other waste materials from friction.

Is the Audi A3 front-wheel drive?

Audi A3 models are front-wheel drive vehicles. According to the manufacturer's model specifications, all FAW Audi A3 models currently on sale are front-wheel drive. Introduction to front-wheel drive: Front-wheel drive (FWD), also known as front-engine front-wheel drive, refers to a power distribution method in automotive design where the engine only drives the front pair of wheels. Most sedans adopt a front-wheel drive configuration. Early cars were rear-wheel drive, and trucks still use rear-wheel drive, but this does not necessarily indicate advancement or superiority. Characteristics of front-wheel drive: Compared to rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive designs are less expensive in terms of both design and assembly. The mechanical components of front-wheel drive are fewer and simpler than those of rear-wheel drive, which helps reduce weight significantly. Front-wheel drive does not require space for rear-drive equipment under the floor, allowing for more flexibility in space utilization.
