Regular maintenance (Audi A4 B5)

In terms of maintenance, the A4 Audi has come up with something new. The A4 notifies the driver of the next maintenance by means of a flashing inspection indicator that lights up when the ignition is turned on instead of the odometer. This is not a system that collects data on wear, but only an indicator set to time or mileage.

The following indication indicates that the next maintenance is due:

• OEL appears every 15,000 km or no later than after one year, even if the mileage after one year was less than 15,000 km. The indicator calls for an oil change.
• In 1 lights up after one year to draw attention to the annual technical inspection.
• In 1, in addition, lights up at a mileage of 30,000, 60,000, 90,000, 120,000 km, etc., since at this mileage additional maintenance work must be carried out.
• In 2 reminds you to change the brake fluid every two years.
