From work to play, your Audi probably sees many miles on the road. With such an enjoyable combination of luxury and dependability, there's no reason for any Audi be hidden away in the garage. Colorado summer afternoons were practically designed for hours behind the wheel of an A3 convertible or a family road trip to Eldorado Canyon in your Audi A6. It's almost as if Audi designed vehicles with the perfect balance of style and handling capability as an answer to Colorado's challenging landscape.

Besides looking great, your Audi is well known for its quality and durability on the road, but those miles add up quickly. While your Audi's running great, it's easy to forget about the routine maintenance and repair that keeps it that way. That's why the service technicians at Indian Peaks Auto are always ready for your call when it's time for an oil and filter change (or you've just realized it's long overdue).

Why Routine Oil Changes Are Vital to the Life of your Audi

Clean oil is one of the most important factors in keeping your engine running smoothly. Oil is designed to lubricate your engine's parts and protect them from heat. While most people understand the importance of keeping the right amount of oil in the car, very few understand the reason for frequent oil changes.

Oil breaks down over time as it works to protect your motor. Additionally, it picks up dirt and debris that stick to working engine parts. Over time, smooth oil turns into thick chunky sludge that makes your motor work harder and fails to effectively control the temperature. When the protective barrier created by oil breaks down, engine parts grind against each other causing early wear and tear. Here are a few problems that occur if you fail to get routine oil and filter changes.

• Sluggish engine performance - Lower power is experienced when the engine runs hotter and more roughly after the oil breaks down.
• Worn engine parts - When oil breaks down, it no longer forms a protective barrier between metal parts. The resulting friction wears engine parts quickly.
• Clogged filter or oil passageways - Oil that contains excess dust, grime, and metal shavings will still run through your motor. However, particles and thickened sludge will eventually block the filter and passageways, potentially leading to serious engine damage from lack of oil flow.
• Increased oil use - This occurs due to oil that has broken down and becomes inefficient or resulting damage to the oil system.
• Noisy engine - Your engine may be louder due to increased friction or include unusual sounds like knocking or ticking.
• Excess exhaust - This can mean that your oil has broken down too much to work effectively or signal more serious problems.

Audi manufacturers recommend you change your oil every 10,000 miles after the first oil change. However, these recommendations are based on "normal driving conditions." Severe conditions like extremely high or low temperatures and excessive dust mean your oil should be changed more frequently. Boulder, Colorado's changing climate offers all of these conditions, making oil and filter changes especially important.
