2019 Audi A4 maintenance schedule
Every service on the 2019 A4, with its interval and an estimated cost.
The 2019 Audi A4 oil change interval is every 10,000 mi or 12 months, whichever comes first (estimated cost $90-$150). Minor Maintenance at 10,000 mi or 1 year, then Minor and Standard Maintenance alternate (each every 20,000 mi or 2 years), so oil and filter every 10,000 mi or 12 months. Audi gives no severe-service number: under severe conditions (such as extremely low temperatures or excessive dust) engine oil changes must be done in between the given intervals.

| Service | Every | Est. Cost | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine Oil & FilterSafety itemMinor Maintenance at 10,000 mi or 1 year, then Minor and Standard Maintenance alternate (each every 20,000 mi or 2 years), so oil and filter every 10,000 mi or 12 months. Audi gives no severe-service number: under severe conditions (such as extremely low temperatures or excessive dust) engine oil changes must be done in between the given intervals. | 10,000 mi / 12 mo≈ 16,000 km / 12 mo | $90-$150 | |
| Brake InspectionInspect: brake pad thickness at every Minor and Standard Maintenance; brake hoses and bleeder caps at Standard Maintenance. MY2017 schedule also: check brake disc thickness every 40,000 mi or 4 years. | 10,000 mi / 12 mo≈ 16,000 km / 12 mo | — | |
| Battery InspectionInspect at Standard Maintenance: check the state of health of the connected box battery (Audi connected services) with the diagnostic tester. MY2017 also: check the 12 V battery terminals, mounting and housing; replace if necessary. | 20,000 mi / 24 mo≈ 32,000 km / 24 mo | — | |
| Cabin Air FilterReplace the dust and pollen filter. | 20,000 mi / 24 mo≈ 32,000 km / 24 mo | $25-$60 | |
| Engine Air FilterReplace the air filter element. Under severe conditions (such as excessive dust) Audi says to clean or replace it in between the given intervals; no number given. | 60,000 mi≈ 97,000 km | $30-$70 | |
| Brake FluidSafety itemChange brake fluid every 2 years regardless of mileage. | 24 mo | $100-$180 | |
| Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid (7-speed S tronic only)Change the S tronic transmission fluid. Not applicable to the 6-speed manual (2017–2018 quattro). | 40,000 mi≈ 64,000 km | $350-$550 | |

GarageHub · Free · Your AI MechanicOpenThe 2019 Audi A4 (B9 generation) uses a 2.0L TFSI turbocharged four-cylinder in two US versions, the front-wheel-drive 40 TFSI and the 45 TFSI with quattro all-wheel drive, both with a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. This schedule follows Audi's US maintenance schedule for the 2019 model year, including the S tronic fluid change every 40,000 miles.
What happens if you skip it
- Skipping brake fluid flushes allows moisture absorption that corrodes ABS modules and brake calipers, leading to expensive electronic repairs and reduced braking performance.
Common issues at higher mileage
- 60,000+ mi
- Water pump failure is common on 2.0T TFSI engines, often presenting as coolant leaks or overheating; proactive replacement around 60-80k miles prevents roadside breakdowns.
- 50,000+ mi
- Intake manifold flap actuators may fail, triggering check engine lights and limp mode; carbon buildup exacerbates mechanical binding of the flap system.
- 70,000+ mi
- Thermostat housing develops coolant leaks due to plastic component degradation, causing temperature regulation issues and potential overheating.
- 80,000+ mi
- PCV system components may degrade, leading to excessive oil consumption and rough running; this is a known weakness on TFSI engines requiring valve or breather system service.
- 100,000+ mi
- Timing chain tensioner wear may cause rattling on cold starts; while chains don't require replacement like belts, tensioner and guide updates prevent catastrophic failure.
