Why Should I Change My Oil?

Imagine that you buy your new Audi from our Hoffman Estates, IL Audi dealership and never change the oil. What would happen?

• Dirt and grime will accumulate in your oil. Your oil filter will catch most of it for a while, but your filter will inevitably become clogged and cease functioning.
• The oil itself starts to break down. Chemicals and additives that work to keep your Audi's engine clean will fail due to excessive wear and heat.
 
• At this point, the oil becomes thick with particles and there will be a noticeable drop in the performance of your Audi's engine.
 
• Over time, wear increases on your engine's key components, and your Audi begins to die a slow, painful death. The engine will eventually seize and cease functioning.

Should I Use Synthetic or Conventional Oil in My Audi?

Most new Audi models do require full synthetic oil, but it's best to consult your Owner's Manual for exact information about maintaining your Audi. Almost every Audi built after 2005 demands full synthetic oil to deliver the impressive performance drivers in the Hoffman Estates, IL area expect from German-engineered models.

Synthetic oil and conventional oil both come from the ground, but that's where the parallels end. Synthetic oil is broken down and re-tailored to provide superior performance and longer life in modern engines. Synthetic oil delivers several advantages that aren't available from conventional oil.

• Synthetic oil can go from 9,000 to 10,000 miles between oil changes
• Keeps your Audi's engine cleaner
• Offers greater protection for your Audi's engine at regular, high, and low temperatures
• Protects turbocharger components in your Audi's engine

Do TDI Models Require Different Oil Changes?

A DPF is designed to trap diesel exhaust and removes the typical "black soot" that is associated with diesel models. Audi TDI models equipped with DPF result in cleaner emissions for drivers in the Hoffman Estates, IL area.
