Long term durability
I have a 2014 Z51 convertible A6 with MSR and NPP. I have 50,000 trouble free miles on it. I bought it used in 2016 from a dealership, it was a demo car with only 3100 miles on it, supposedly only the dealership owner’s wife drove it occasionally. I would not be surprised if I put another 100,000 to 200,000 miles on it. I use it as a daily driver and on trips. I do not track the car. I stick with the Mobil 1 5W30 Dexos and I have stocked up on the PF64 445 oil filters with about 15 of them. I always use tier 1 91 or better gasoline (at least since the car had 10 or 20k on it). I ran my first bottle of Techron last fall and just changed the differential fluid with the stock Dexron SL lube. My question is, what should I do to the car to reduce maintenance issues in the future? Are Range devices and catch cans really necessary? Anything else? Thanks in advance for your useful tips.
