A3 Service Schedule
- Engine oil: Audi LongLife 5W-30 / 0W-30 — 10,000 km in Malaysia (ignore LongLife 30,000 km display)
- DQ200/DQ250 DSG fluid: every 40,000 km

Malaysia vs Longlife Intervals
Audi's Longlife service intervals were calibrated for European conditions — cooler temperatures, better fuel quality, and less traffic congestion. In Malaysia's heat and stop-start city traffic, oil degrades faster. At 4M Car Care we recommend a 10,000 km oil change interval for all A3 variants regardless of what the Longlife indicator shows. For other service items (brake fluid, coolant, S tronic fluid), the OEM schedule is generally appropriate.
