2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback maintenance schedule
Schedule type: fixed
Audi uses a fixed schedule in the US, not condition-based: a Minor service at 10,000 miles or 1 year, then every 20,000 miles or 2 years (10k, 30k, 50k...), and a Standard service at 20,000 miles or 2 years, then every 20,000 miles or 2 years (20k, 40k, 60k...). Both include an oil and filter change, and the Standard service adds a long multi-point inspection. RS 5-specific items are spark plugs every 30,000 miles or 3 years and a rear axle (quattro sport differential) oil and ATF change every 60,000 miles. The schedule lists no separate automatic transmission fluid change for the RS 5 (the S tronic fluid items apply to other models). Summarized in our own words from the sources listed. Always follow the owner's manual or your dealer for your specific vehicle (VIN, engine, and options).
Checked against the official document for model year 2019; other years in this range are assumed to follow it. Confirm in your owner's manual.
