Default Advice?

I just purchased a Brilliant Black/Black 2011 Premium A4 and I love it so far. Feel free to give me any tips as I am a first time Audi buyer.

Check your oil weekly

Speaking of oil, do you prefer to take it to the dealer or do it yourself for an oil change. It seems pretty simple but would the service be better if I took it to Audi?

It depends on your basic skills. It is an easy job if you use a vacuum oil extractor . It is an easy and clean job and takes about a half an hour and you don't have to get under the car. 5 qts. of oil at $40 and another $12 for a filter.
