2020 Audi A6 maintenance schedule and recommendations are as follows: 1. Regular maintenance: If the driving time has not reached 12 months but the mileage has reached 15,000 kilometers, an oil change is required. If the annual mileage exceeds 30,000 kilometers, maintenance should be performed according to the 30,000-kilometer regular maintenance specifications, not the 12-month regular maintenance specifications. Brake fluid should be replaced every 24 months. 2. Periodic maintenance: Replace the dust filter at 30,000 kilometers, check the lubricant level of the manual transmission and main reducer, add lubricant if necessary, check the headlight beam and adjust if needed, visually inspect the body floor sealing coating for damage. 3. Additional maintenance: Replace the toothed belt and tensioner of the camshaft drive mechanism, replace the multi-ribbed belt (only for V6 engines), replace the V-belt and multi-ribbed belt (only for 4-cylinder engines).

As an Audi A6 driver with three years of experience, I remember the 2020 model's maintenance cycle was mainly every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, whichever comes first. The first maintenance requires an oil change and oil filter replacement. At 20,000 kilometers, the air filter and spark plugs need to be checked. At 60,000 kilometers, the transmission fluid should be replaced to prevent wear. Tires and brakes should be inspected every two years to prevent aging. The key is your driving habits—if you frequently drive short distances or in congested city traffic, the cycle should be advanced. Last time, because of traffic jams during my commute, I went for maintenance 500 kilometers earlier. Don’t forget to replace the cabin air filter every 30,000 kilometers to keep the air inside clean. Overall, following the manual saves a lot of hassle. Just check the oil level regularly, as delaying maintenance can easily lead to engine problems.

From my experience, the 2020 Audi A6 requires meticulous maintenance. The basic routine is a minor service every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, which includes an oil change, oil filter replacement, and checks on the tires and braking system. Then, approximately every 20,000 kilometers, you’ll need to replace the air filter, cabin air filter, and spark plugs—keeping up with these will maintain good performance. For longer intervals, the transmission fluid should be changed at 60,000 kilometers, and brake pads inspected at 80,000 kilometers. Also, pay attention to the coolant and battery lifespan. My money-saving tip is to regularly clean the filter components yourself to avoid costly major repairs. It’s best to confirm specifics with the dealer, as different engine versions might have slight variations—for instance, diesel and gasoline models may have different intervals. Overall, following these guidelines ensures smoother driving and extends the car’s lifespan.

As a car owner, the maintenance details for the 2020 Audi A6 can be summarized simply: Perform basic items every 10,000 km or 1 year, such as changing the engine oil and oil filter, and also checking tire pressure. Then, around every 20,000 km, inspect the condition of the air filter and spark plugs. In the long run, changing the transmission oil at 60,000 km is crucial to avoid transmission issues. I recommend having the technician also check the brake fluid and air conditioning system each time for safety and comfort. Don't neglect the intervals, as it may affect the warranty.
