Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong sub, but I need help and Google has conflicting articles. Show My oil change is due at 23,000 km but all the dealerships within an hour drive of me are fully booked until early-mid December. I'm at 23something right now, scheduled for week after next. I will probably bring the car in for service closer to 24K. I'm wondering if this will do significant damage to the car? It's a 2016 Audi if it matters. Thanks in advance. 9500 miles?

My oil life (which takes into account revs, speed, etc) won't even be down at 10% after 9500 straight highway miles (when the oil light turns on.) I use full synthetic extended mileage (read: extra detergents) oil. Granted, 9500 straight highway miles for me might only be 8-10 days of driving...

You may have shortened the engine's life down, or alternatively, shortened the time till the engine could use a bit of a rebuild. However, you (or the next owner(s)) are most likely going to junk the car before the engine pops, due to the rest of the car falling apart.

There are some model years that really want their oil changed regularly, of course, but as long as you change it regularly from now on - meh. Similar to this post
