What is the maintenance schedule for the Audi Q5?

According to Audi's official maintenance manual, the specified maintenance interval is every 10,000 kilometers or 1 year. The replacement interval for engine oil and oil filter remains at every 10,000 kilometers, the cabin air filter should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers, and the engine air filter every 40,000 kilometers. Since the fuel filter is built-in, it doesn't require replacement within 60,000 kilometers, while the spark plugs, similar to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, need replacement every 20,000 kilometers. The detailed maintenance schedule is as follows: 1. 10,000 km: Replace engine oil and oil filter, replace external cabin air filter, inspect fuel filter; 2. 20,000 km: Replace engine oil and oil filter, replace external cabin air filter, replace spark plugs, inspect fuel filter; 3. 30,000 km: Replace engine oil and oil filter, replace external cabin air filter, replace internal cabin air filter, inspect fuel filter; 4. 40,000 km: Replace engine oil and oil filter, replace external cabin air filter, replace engine air filter, replace spark plugs, inspect fuel filter; 5. 50,000 km: Replace engine oil and oil filter, replace external cabin air filter, inspect fuel filter; 6. 60,000 km: Replace engine oil and oil filter, replace external cabin air filter, replace internal cabin air filter, replace transmission fluid, replace spark plugs, inspect fuel
The maintenance schedule for the Audi Q5 is actually quite clear. I've been driving this car for over three years. The first service is usually done at 10,000 km or 1 year, mainly covering basic items like engine oil and oil filter. After that, maintenance is required every 10,000 km or 12 months, depending on the dashboard alerts. At 20,000 km, the air filter needs to be replaced, and at 40,000 km, it's crucial to check the brake fluid and spark plugs. Last time, I also changed the transmission fluid at this point. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, you might want to check it at 8,000 km, as engine carbon buildup can affect fuel consumption. Don’t delay maintenance too long—the sensors are very sensitive to oil quality. My neighbor delayed it by three months and ended up with a warning light.
