Oil change Audi A8 D2 -95
Hi!
I just bought a "new" Audi and i feel like i might aswell change the oil sooner rather than later, not saying that i don't trust the previous owner it just feels like a good thing to do.
Anyways, when i try to find the filters, oils and seals i feel like there are a few options too many for me to trust my own research. So i ask for someone who can tell me which filter, oil and seals are correct for my car!
Thanks!
(This is also my first post on audiworld so please excuse any mistakes)

I can't help much as I'm a noon to the audi family myself (2008 a8l), I searched the web and YT, and found that they moved the oil filter around depending on the year, platform and model. My filter is lower right side of the motor and a pain to get to. Just search it and you should find something. I ordered a complete owners manual and service manual on ebay but they didn't help much regarding the filter location. Good luck

My bad. I misunderstood your question. You wanted to known what filter, oil to use not location. I understand liqui moly is a good oil. As far as filter, not sure. The previous owner had the oil changed just before I bought the car. I will more than likely take it into audi for the next change in about 8500 miles.
