Every vehicle starts with a full condition inspection: we go through the whole vehicle — brakes, tires, lights, wipers, fluids, belts, hoses and the battery — record its condition from day one and connect it to Aperio, and if an oil change or tire rotation is due we do it at that same visit. One-time onboarding — $45 per vehicle. Pay it once; that vehicle is in for life.

Specification by year

What your A4 takes.

Oil grade and capacity from the manufacturer's service specification. Single-visit prices are for the oil change itself, before the $20 mobile service fee and tax; full synthetic is what we recommend, and basic (conventional) is shown where the engine allows. Confirm the engine code on your emissions label if your year lists more than one. The Annual plan column is what that engine costs on the plan for a full year — oil changes included, nothing added per visit.

Single visitTable price + $20 mobile service fee. E.g. a 2021 A4 on European-approval synthetic = $146.00 + $20 = $166.00 before tax.
Annual planOil changes on the oil-life monitor (10% or 8,000 km (5,000 mi), whichever is later), rotations, seasonal swaps, tire, brake and battery inspections, air filters — all of it for one annual price per vehicle. The 2.0L 4-cyl CYMC turbo takes 5.2 L (5.5 qt) of oil, so the plan is $259 a year — nothing extra per oil change. European makes are $60 a year more because they need European-approval oil — it's included. Other engines in this range are priced in the Annual plan column. On top of that you pay only the $20 mobile service fee per visit (first 4 visits a year; $30 after). Prices shown are for annual payment. Monthly payments are available at checkout. Every vehicle starts with a full condition inspection: we go through the whole vehicle — brakes, tires, lights, wipers, fluids, belts, hoses and the battery — record its condition from day one and connect it to Aperio, and if an oil change or tire rotation is due we do it at that same visit. One-time onboarding — $45 per vehicle. Pay it once; that vehicle is in for life.
Questions

Audi A4

What oil does your Audi A4 take?

It depends on the year and engine — the table above lists the manufacturer's grade for each. Recent A4s most often take 5W-40. We fill with full synthetic in the specified grade.

How much oil does your Audi A4 hold?

3.5–6.5 L (3.7–6.9 qt) with a new filter, depending on engine. We fill to the dipstick and record the amount in your service record.

How often should I change the oil in my A4?

On the plan, when the A4's oil-life monitor reaches 10% or at 8,000 km (5,000 mi) — whichever comes later — or on Audi's published interval. If your A4 is 2013 or newer, Aperio reads the oil-life monitor and books the visit when it's due, so you never guess.

Can you do the oil change at my home?

Yes. That's the whole idea — a licensed technician comes to your driveway, workplace or a legal street spot anywhere we serve, brings the right oil and filter for your A4, and sends photos of the work.

What does a Audi A4 oil change cost?

$146.00 for a European-approval synthetic oil change on the most recent A4, plus the $20 mobile service fee — the table above shows the price for every year and engine. On the plan the oil change is included and you pay only that fee.

What does the Aperio plan cost for my Audi A4?

$259 a year. The 2.0L 4-cyl CYMC turbo takes 5.2 L (5.5 qt) of oil, so the plan is $259 a year — nothing extra per oil change. European makes are $60 a year more because they need European-approval oil — it's included. Other engines in this range are priced in the Annual plan column. One annual price, and nothing added per oil change. The plan covers every routine service on the schedule: oil and filter, rotations, seasonal swaps, tire, brake and battery inspections and air filters. The only other charge is the $20 mobile service fee per visit (first 4 visits a year; $30 after).
