minus-squareNougat@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months ago There are a bunch of manufacturers now that have motors that do 10-15k, 20-30k mile oil changes. https://maintenance.audiusa.com/#/search Audi appears to call for 10K mile oil changes, though I’m not going to check every single year and model. AMSOil is good stuff, but they’re not an automobile manufacturer. Nothing anywhere for anything you’ve cited says 30K miles. Again, source?
