What is the ideal engine oil change interval for a 1992 Audi 80?

I just recently bought a 1992 Audi 80 and I'm unsure about the best oil change interval for the car. Some sources say every 3,000 miles while others say up to 7,500 miles. What is your recommendation?

In general, the rule of thumb is to change your engine oil every 3,000 miles or every 3 months, whichever comes first. This applies to all cars, including the 1992 Audi 80. Regular oil changes are important for maintaining the health of your engine and ensuring optimal performance.

If you want to be more conservative, go with the 3,000 miles interval. However, modern cars and engines are designed to handle longer intervals, and the Audi 80 is no exception. As long as you use high-quality synthetic oil and regularly check your oil level, you can safely extend the oil change interval to up to 7,500 miles.

I have owned a 1992 Audi 80 for over 10 years now and have always followed the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval of every 5,000 miles. I have never had any issues with my engine and it has been running smoothly. So unless you do a lot of heavy driving or have specific concerns, I would stick with the recommended interval.
