Do you change it yourself or...
do you have a mechanic change it? My local Audi dealership made it sound like it was a big expensive procedure.
On average, how much do you pay, assuming a mechanic changes the oil?

Re: Who's right?
I was to the dealer for 60000 miles maintenence; the mechanic told me the transmission and differential fluids are "lifetime". Only level check is required, but if it does not leak I should not worry.
Who should I believe? (the car is A6Q 1996).

I am buying the tranny kit from Inter Parts in San Diego for $22 ( filter and gasket ) and Oil from local parts store.
Mechanic charges me $70 for labor.

I do it every year...
But I have an older Audi with an even ****tier auto tranny than what you've got...
I would at least consider doing it every 24K miles regardless of recommendations...
