    75k advice

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I about to hit 75k on my 03 a4 1.8t q 5m. At 70k I did the dealer thing, and according to the computer I don't need to hit up the dealer until 80k. But I figure I still gotta do an oil change among other things at this point. All stuff I assume I can do myself anyway. So I was wondering if you all had any advice for me on this.

    Should I do oil change (easy question)?

    What type of oil should I get (I live in New Orleans, not a ton of city driving, but no commuter highway driving either, the weather is still reasonably warm, not cold until December)?

    How much (haha dumb, I should grab the manual)?

    Recommended Oil filter replacement?

    What else should I do/fix/replace?

    Should I seafoam? If so before or after oil change? Preferred product?

    Anything else I missed here...thanks guys.

    Seafoam, or better yet AutoRx it, oil change using Total oil, and use an OEM large oil filter. then ur set.

    Re: 75k advice

    when did you last do plugs?

    i would do air filter
    fuel filter (depending if/when it was last done)
    oil/filter (OEM or mobil 1 m-301 filter) i doubt you need total oil, its pricey most of us seem to get by just fine on mobil 1 0 40w

    split your can of seafoam half in the intake manifold (search for the diy) and half in the gas tank... if you want to do some in the oil, you will need to dump half the can in, drive about 50 miles then drain and put in your new oil/filter

    brake fluid flush with some motul 5.1 would do wonders as well... i was impressed by how much it helped pedal feel (probably only need this is you have never flushed fluid.. you could also do some SS lines at the same time)
