Read What Owners Say
👎 NEGATIVE
This is why I’ll never buy a Lamborghini 5.0 V10.
😐 NEUTRAL
I'd be installing a remote oil filter adapter
👎 NEGATIVE
Fucken engineers. What are the billable hours for oil change?
😐 NEUTRAL
Do you really have to take everything off?
👎 NEGATIVE
Engineers never expected it to last long enough to need an oil change.
😐 NEUTRAL
It kinda bugs me that the engine seems to be out of center...
👎 NEGATIVE
As the owner of three Italian vehicles that I personally maintain I can say that ease of maintenance is not a consideration by the engineers. In fact, it almost seems as if they go out of their way to *intentionally* make maintenance more difficult. Looks, and do they look beautiful, are first priority. Ease of maintenance is bottom of list.
😐 NEUTRAL
Is it the same for the LP550-2? The RWD models.
😐 NEUTRAL
“Pretty sure it was changed last oil change …” -every tech, every time
😐 NEUTRAL
Its an AUDI what do you expect
