sup /o/ So i just bought an audi with the 1.8 turbo engine and

Pretty sure these cars hold more oil than you'd expect, but they also have massive sludge issues if you don't change it often enough.

I do synthetic every 7k or 6 months, whichever comes first.

Check your oil, make sure it isn't sludgy. Sludge = change

When you transfer from conventional to synthetic, you will need to do an interim change, so drain the conventional, run synthetic for like 500 miles or so, drain it out, and then new filter + oil and do a full interval on that next one.

The interim change should unclog a bunch of stuff in the engine that conventionals dont get to.

Most newer cars have long oil change intervals like that, Not sure how much I trust their claims though. Personally I would change around every 8k or so just to safe, especially since it has a turbo. Then again I'm no mechanic
PS, changing your oil every 3k miles is for plebs. I change my shitbox honda every 5-6k miles using full synthetic

>The owners manual that was written by the engineers who designed the car to be cared for and run in optimal conditions says change the oil every 10k miles
>FTFY

Dont ever push a cars oil out that far. Stick with 3 to 4k and then change it. Oil is cheap, engines are not.

Modern cars can handle double that with zero problems m8

>buying an audi
Why would you do this? If you must have German, at least go BMW or Mercedes, not VW with extra leather.

Are you dumb? There's no reason to change it that often when the car and its oil was made to last that long

>>16239387
Okay grandpa

i thought it looked cooler than its bmw or mercedes counter parts and its just a DD grocery getter so i dont really care about performance/handling aside from some decent passing power

Knowing audi from personal experience, it's probably more like 2-3k since you're gonna be constantly burning or leaking oil
