Some have said that 5K is fine, while others like
3K. What is the general agreement on this? Also do you guys change the filter every oil change or every other. I know what the dealer does, but i want your opinions.

If I cant for some reason, its no big deal.

Oil and filter. The OEM filters are supposedly good fo a 7k interval.

I change every 3000 miles, but some people go 'till 5k, also depends on how hard you are using her too....

If you're mostly doing highway driving, then you can extend the intervals. If you're doing a lot of city or spirited driving, then you should change it sooner.

For me, it's mostly city driving (about 75%). I had my synthetic oil analyzed at 5K miles. Based on the analysis, the lab recommended that this oil would be good for about 6K miles, given my driving conditions.

I change oil and filter every 5K miles.

5K is more than sufficient, and is just as **** retentive as the old 3K oil change intervals that we grew up with. Oil filters should be swapped with the oil, regardless of what Audi recommends (sorry, this is one of those things that Audi will never convince me to do...leave the filter in for longer periods than the oil).

That overkill in my opinion dude...especially if you are using synthetic...
