A5 oil change

[Cooper82]

Morning everyone,
Just got an A5 Coupe TDI and have done 320 miles. How often should oil be change/inspected? The car is only indicating when the next service is due but the entry for oil change is just empty.
Thanks

That might appear after after a while, Audi state 500km. Depending upon the type of driving and mileage you could be either of these https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/servicing-maintenance-mot/servicing-your-audi.html

The only way (as far as I know) to check the oil level is via the mmi or the app such as:

I can access the information in the car . On service interval it indicates the next inspection but the entry for oil change is empty

Strange, maybe it's too new for it to work out yet!!!

Please look in the car manual:
"You cannot check the service interval on a new
vehicle until it has been driven for about 500 km.
Qualified workshops reset the service interval af-
ter the oil is changed. The distance to the next oil
change is initially displayed based on the driving
profile prior to the oil change. Your own personal
driving profile is used subsequently to calculate
the remaining distance. Frequent cold starts or
short trips place extra demands on the engine oil
with the result that the oil has to be changed more often."

Thank you for that. I should have checked the manual. I have done 550 miles and checked again.
