What is the optimal mileage for the first maintenance of an Audi A6?
2 Answers
The first maintenance for a new Audi A6 is recommended at 5,000 kilometers, followed by subsequent maintenance every 7,500 kilometers. Here is more information about maintenance: 1. Maintenance requires replacing the engine oil, oil filter, and cabin air filter. 2. Engine oil maintenance helps reduce engine wear and provides cooling and lubrication for the engine. 3. The oil filter's role is to filter the engine oil, removing dust and impurities to protect the engine. Its replacement cycle is the same as the engine oil, so it should be replaced together during an oil change. The air filter ensures clean air intake for the engine, and its cleanliness should be checked to determine if replacement is needed. The cabin air filter prevents external dust and odors from entering the vehicle, ensuring a comfortable driving environment.
Just got a new Audi A6, and I think it's best to do the first maintenance at 7,500 km. During the first few thousand kilometers, the engine is breaking in, and the oil contains metal fragments and dirt. If not cleaned in time, it can easily clog the oil passages and wear out parts. With my first car, I waited until 8,000 km for maintenance, and I noticed the engine sounded a bit noisy and fuel consumption increased. Now I’ve learned my lesson—I go to the 4S shop earlier to change the oil and filter and check the car’s condition. Audi recommends maintenance between 5,000 to 10,000 km, but 7,500 km is a safe midpoint that’s not too expensive. After that, maintain it every 10,000 km, and the car will run smoothly with fewer worries. Also, regularly check tire pressure and lights to develop good habits.
