I use the Carfax Car Care app, it will tell you what is due and when. Plus it allows you to update the carfax records to reflect diy service...

I use the Carfax maintenance tracker also, for both our cars, and I love that I can create my own DIY records/documentation of services that way, as well as pull in or add missing documentation from shop work I've paid for.

But you can also just Google the Audi maintenance schedule for your year/model, etc...it's good to look it over, just not in a user friendly format, necessarily. Do beware that Audi does not touch or provide a scheduled maintenance for the driveline lubricants on this car...not ever; that means both differentials, the transfer case, and transmission fluid, and definitely check the steering/hydraulic fluid reservoir too (hint, it should be a clear color), as these have most likely never been changed on your 'new' used car. Look to see what's history on it, but changing all fluids & filters is a great place to start on this car. Definitely read the user guide/manual for this car...totally worth it.

Thanks for the tip on the Car Care app. Didn't know about that!

DIYing the oil change is cheaper, and easier using a vacuum pump to change the oil via the dipstick, just like the pros do it.

The 10k miles oil service interval is only a 'best-case' scenario in North America, BTW, and realistically only if you are buying top-tier fuel at most every fill-up. If you read carefully on the linked Audi service intervals pages, you will see fine print relating to reduced service intervals should be implemented for oil & filter changes depending on operating conditions.

Speaking of oil changes, I have a used oil analysis performed by Blackstone every time I change the oil. Well worth the price of admission.

Their lab results had been showing elevated levels of silicon and potassium in the oil the last couple of changes, which is what led me to hunt down the leak on the oil cooler adapter plate. Well, I sent them a sample when I changed the oil just after performing that repair in late July, and, unsurprisingly, it continued to show elevated levels. However, I sent them another sample one month and 6,500 miles later, and they got the results back to me yesterday: A clean bill of health on it! It was such a relief to see the numbers back to where they should be. Party time. Hahaha!
