Audi Oil Change & Scheduled Service
We change your Audi's engine oil and all four filters with genuine oil to VW 502.00 / 504.00 spec every 10,000 km, reset the service counter, and run a full computer scan — with a written quote before any work starts.
An Audi oil change replaces the engine oil and oil filter every 10,000 km with genuine oil matching Volkswagen's official specification.
Full scheduled service adds inspection of three more filters — air, cabin, and fuel — plus a complete computer scan and a Service Reminder reset on the dashboard.
Riyadh's heat and dust wear out oil and filters faster than in a European climate, so we follow a 10,000 km schedule instead of the 15,000 km some European charts assume.
When does your Audi need an oil change?
Change the oil once the odometer hits 10,000 km, the service light (INSP) appears on the dashboard, or a full year has passed since the last change regardless of mileage — Riyadh's heat breaks down oil faster than the European schedule allows.
- Service light (INSP) on the dashboard
- Odometer reached the programmed change threshold
- Oil appears dark or black on the dipstick
- Oil has passed its effective life
- Rough noise on cold start
- Low lubrication or an overdue oil change
- Burnt oil smell inside the cabin
- A leak or consumption issue needing immediate inspection
- Light blue smoke from the exhaust
- Cylinder oil consumption, common on EA888 Gen1/2
What does the Audi oil change and scheduled service cover?
The service covers an engine oil and oil filter change at every visit, air filter and cabin filter replacement every 20,000 km, a fuel filter check, plus a full computer scan of every control unit and a service counter reset before handover.
- Oil filter
- Replaced at every oil change, every 10,000 km
- Air filter
- Replaced every 20,000 km, sooner in heavy dust
- Cabin filter
- Replaced every 20,000 km — dust clogs it 30% faster than in Europe
- Fuel filter
- Checked during scheduled service, replaced based on fuel condition
- Service counter (Service Reminder)
- Reset with a VCDS/ODIS tool after every visit
What oil spec does an Audi 5W-40 need, and how many litres?
Audi petrol engines run on 5W-40 oil to VW 502.00 spec, while some newer engines take the longer-life 504.00-spec 5W-30; a 4-cylinder 2.0 TFSI engine needs about 4.6 litres, so one 5-litre can covers the change with a small margin left over.
VW 502.00 is a high-performance spec for changes every 10,000 km, suited to Riyadh's heat and frequent city driving. VW 504.00 is a low-ash (Low SAPS) oil built for longer service intervals, and it is used only in engines the factory approves for it — mixing the two voids turbo protection.
The Riyadh service table below summarises Audi's scheduled maintenance, built on odometer mileage rather than the calendar, because daily driving in Riyadh accumulates heat and dust faster than the European average.
- 5W-40 (VW 502.00)
- Most common for TFSI engines in hot climates
- 5W-30 (VW 504.00)
- Long-life service, requires low-ash oil
- 4-cylinder oil capacity (2.0 TFSI)
- About 4.6 litres
| Interval | Work required | Riyadh note |
|---|---|---|
| Every 10,000 km | Engine oil + oil filter + full inspection | All models — heat shortens oil life |
| Every 20,000 km | Air filter + cabin filter + wipers | Dust clogs filters faster than in Europe |
| Every 40,000 km | Spark plugs (2.0 TFSI) + brake fluid + pad check | Petrol engines |
| Every 60,000 km | DSG/S-tronic gearbox oil + timing chain check | Wet-clutch gearboxes |
How do we change your Audi's oil, step by step?
We start by reading the service counter and visit history with a VCDS tool, change the oil and filter, inspect the other three filters, reset the service counter, and finish with a short test drive to confirm oil pressure and engine health.
Check the service counter
Read the visit history and distance since the last change with a VCDS/ODIS tool.
Initial inspection
Check the current oil level and condition, and the state of all four filters.
Written quote
Confirm the oil type (5W-40 or 5W-30) and the filters needed, at a clear price, before starting.
Carry out the change
Drain the old engine oil, fit a new filter, and refill with oil to the original spec.
Reset the counter
Reset the Service Reminder to zero with a VCDS/ODIS tool.
Test drive
A short drive to confirm oil pressure and rule out any leak.
What four filters go into Audi scheduled service?
Scheduled service uses four genuine filters: the oil filter at every visit, the air filter and cabin filter every 20,000 km, and the fuel filter as needed — each matched to the chassis number before fitting and covered by our written warranty.
- Oil filter
- Genuine paper element, replaced every oil change
- Air filter
- Genuine dust-resistant element, every 20,000 km
- Cabin filter
- Genuine carbon element, every 20,000 km
- Fuel filter
- Replaced based on fuel condition and station quality
- Engine oil
- 5W-40 / 5W-30 to VW 502.00 / 504.00 spec
Does oil quantity and type differ by Audi model?
4-cylinder models like the A4 and Q5 with the 2.0 TFSI engine take about 4.6 litres of 5W-40, while the V6 3.0 in the A6 and Q7 needs a larger quantity and a bigger filter — the exact amount is confirmed against the chassis number before every change.

How much does an Audi oil change cost?
An oil and filter change for a 4-cylinder engine starts at SAR 350 and runs up to SAR 550, a V6 runs SAR 550 to 850, and full scheduled service at 20,000 km ranges from SAR 650 to 1,100 including filters and inspection.
| Service | Indicative range (SAR) |
|---|---|
| Oil + filter (4-cylinder 2.0) | 350 – 550 |
| Oil + filter (V6 3.0) | 550 – 850 |
| Full scheduled service, 20,000 km (oil + filters + inspection) | 650 – 1,100 |
| Air filter | 120 – 220 |

Where do we offer Audi oil change service in Riyadh?
Our workshop sits on King Abdulaziz Road in Al Olaya, and we serve every district of Riyadh from Khurais in the east to west Riyadh, with mobile service that brings simple oil changes to your location.
- Does using oil other than 5W-40 harm an Audi?
- Yes, if it doesn't match the VW 502.00 or 504.00 spec set for your engine; non-matching oil reduces turbo protection and speeds up piston ring wear, so we stick to the factory spec only.
- How do you reset the Service Reminder on an Audi?
- Using a genuine VCDS or ODIS tool, we access the engine control unit (Unit 01) and reset the value to zero right after every oil change, without disconnecting the battery.
- How much oil does an Audi 2.0 TFSI engine need?
- About 4.6 litres, so one 5-litre can covers the change with a small margin left over; V6 engines need a larger quantity confirmed against the chassis number before the change.
- Does cheaper commercial-grade oil save money on an Audi?
- Not in the long run; oil that doesn't match spec shortens turbo and piston ring life, and the resulting repair bill far exceeds the price difference of genuine oil.
- When should I replace the air filter and cabin filter?
- Every 20,000 km under normal conditions, but Riyadh's dust clogs them about 30% faster than in Europe, so we check both visually at every service visit.
- Is an oil change alone enough, or do I need full scheduled service?
- An oil change alone only maintains lubrication; full scheduled service adds filter, brake, and computer checks, and it's the foundation of your car's long-term health.
