Troy Bruder 18 April 2005 19:05:22
 My 2003 A4 just reached 50k miles... From now on, I'll be changing my own
oil.. I've always done this on my american cars... Is the A4 much
harder???

Nope. Have the right size socket for the drain plug (I have a
dedicated socket for this, and I can't recall the size - 18mm seems to
spring to mind) a filter wrench that fits your filter, and the proper
filter type. Don't get some cheapo dept. store filter, but go to
audiparts.com and get Mahle or Mann filters, and the proper size for
your car. Taking off the undercar tray is a pain, but a simple task.
I re-use the copper washer on the drain plug, but some folks replace it
every time. I figure if it leaks, I'll replace it. It hasn't yet, so
I won't. :)­

Making sure you have good oil, the right filter, and the proper tools
make it a one-beer [1] DIY job.

HTH,

E.P.

[1] The length of time it takes to leisurely drink one beer. Also, the
amount of ethanol needed to calm the stress of a DIY project.

 I changed the oil on my new 2004 A4 at 5k, prior to the recommended dealer
interval of 10K. I'd warn you that the oil filter may be affixed too
tightly by the factory so have an appropriate oil filter removal tool handy.
Also, I got a bath of oil when I unscrewed the filter. Be prepared with
rags/some method of containing the spill.
