Oil change every 5k miles?
i just noticed today that Audi dealer put a sticker on my windshield to remind me of my next oil change at 10k miles. This is after my first oil change at 5k miles. Should we stick with 5k, 15k, 25k, ... etc or do it every 5k?
For those of you who hit 15k or more, do you see oil really dark after near 10k miles?

Stick to the Audi recommended service interval of 10K Miles or 15K Km. It does not make any difference if you change your oil early.
In the Audi Q5 TDI the oil will come out black as tar every time as there is lots of soot held in suspension. Not sure what it looks like on the gas versions but I would imagine it would be a lot cleaner looking.
