OT Question about Oil Changes on My Audi.

How often should I REALLY be changing the oil?

I commute to the New York City area and back 3-4 times a month for work, which is 800 miles round-trip. As a result, I pack on miles very quickly.

The Audi Dealership (who I have completely service the car) told me that I should have the oil changed when the screen in the car tells me that service is due. I am going on 6500 miles now, and when I go into the service menu, it says that I still have another 3500 miles before I should have it serviced. 10,000 miles seems like a LOT!

FYI, The dealer is using Mobil 1 and the car holds 8 quarts of oil.

So, how often should I actually be getting the oil changed?

Mike
