Audi maintenance is generally performed once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. Automobile Maintenance: Automobile maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the automobile, also known as automobile servicing. Audi Q5L Maintenance Items: Replace engine oil and oil filter, visually inspect the engine for leaks or damage, visually inspect all components related to exhaust emissions, check the exhaust system for leaks or damage, check the concentration of coolant/antifreeze, add coolant or adjust concentration if necessary, query the self-diagnosis system fault memory, check the thickness of brake friction linings, visually inspect the brake system for leaks or damage, check the brake fluid level based on the wear status of brake friction linings, visually inspect the transmission, final drive, and constant velocity joint boots for leaks or damage, check the steering ball joint dust boots for leaks or damage, check the tread depth and wear pattern of all tires, check tire pressure and adjust if necessary, check the battery electrolyte level and add distilled water if necessary, check the steering tie rod end joint clearance, tightness, and dust boot condition, check the air reservoir and water drain valve for cleanliness and clean if necessary, check and lubricate the function of door locks, safety locks, and child safety locks, check the function of lighting, turn signals, hazard warning lights, warning/indicator lights, and horn, check the function of windshield wipers/washers, headlight washers, washer nozzles, and the stopping position of the wipers.
The maintenance cycle for the Audi Q5L should be discussed separately. For regular minor maintenance, it's generally every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first. For someone like me who commutes daily in the city, it's basically an annual visit to the 4S shop. If you frequently drive on highways or in poor road conditions, it's best to check the engine oil every 8,000 kilometers. Major maintenance is required every 20,000 kilometers, focusing on brake fluid and the cabin air filter. Once, I delayed replacing the air filter by 3,000 kilometers, and the blower started making squeaky noises. Now, during maintenance visits, I always make sure the technician cleans the sunroof drainage holes—a must-do in areas with heavy rainfall.
