$390 oil change
I got my 5000 mile service done. While at the dealer I asked how much the 15k mile service would be. He printed out the service which includes oil change, cabin pollen filter change, and some basic inspections. Total price $390, and doesn't include tire rotation, which would add another $25.
This sounds so funny to me, as there must be a huge profit in there. Someone recently mentioned that their 15k mile service cost about $200, which sounds more reasonable.
I will call a couple other dealers for their prices, but if they're all greater than $250, I guess I'll have to get Audi Care for $790.
My previous Lexus wasn't this expensive. My BMW of course had maintenance included.

Shop around, 390 is way to much.

Ouch! $300 bones, sounds like you might want to pony up for the Audi Care Package.

I enjoy changing my own. In Audis I use 0w30 Castrol European formula which meets the specs (autozone) and an Audi filter (Mobil One 0w40 works as well). You can do this for less than $50 bucks and know it was done right. I only go 5,000 miles (not 10,000 miles). Dealer does a hard sell on audi care which is a good deal if you will be using the dealer. A no brainer actually.
