What Is the Audi Q3 Maintenance Schedule?

Audi Service - Q3 Minor Maintenance Services

Your exact Audi Q3 maintenance schedule can vary depending on your specific model and driving habits around Milpitas. We recommend you reference your owner's manual or schedule a service appointment with our team for specifics.

However, the general rule of thumb is to perform the first Audi Q3 maintenance plan, the minor maintenance, at 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. After the first 10,000 miles or 1 year, the minor maintenance service is performed every 20,000 or 2 years. When you bring your Audi Q3 in for the minor maintenance service, here's what typically will be performed:

• Brake system: Check brake pad thickness.

• Engine oil & oil filter: Replace the oil and filter

• Multi-point inspection: Perform the inspection.

• Service reminder indicator display: Reset the display.
