How many liters of oil should be added to the Audi S4 transmission?
3 Answers
Audi S4 transmission oil should be filled with 6-7 liters of oil. Here is some extended information: 1. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean and helps to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. There are two types of transmission oil: one is automatic transmission oil, specifically designed for automatic transmissions, and the other is manual transmission oil, also known as gear oil. 3. The replacement interval for transmission oil depends on the type and model, as different vehicles and different types of transmission oil have varying replacement cycles. 4. Automatic transmission oil should be replaced every two years or after driving 50,000-80,000 kilometers, while manual transmission oil should be replaced every three years or after driving 100,000 kilometers.
Regarding Audi S4 transmission fluid refill, as someone who frequently services these vehicles, my experience is that dual-clutch transmissions like S tronic typically require 7 to 8 liters of transmission fluid. However, this varies by model year - for example, B8 models may need 7 liters while B9 models approach 8 liters. Always consult the owner's manual or manufacturer data during fluid changes, as overfilling or underfilling can cause gearshift jerking or even hardware damage. I strongly recommend using factory-approved fluids to ensure stable performance. DIYers need professional tools to measure fluid temperature, otherwise mistakes are likely. Generally recommended for replacement every 60,000 km - while costly, it's worthwhile to prevent major repair bills. Always get a professional diagnostic confirmation of the quantity before proceeding.
Having driven the Audi S4 for several years, I recall the manual specifies about 7.5 liters for transmission fluid replacement. Exercise caution if attempting it yourself—fluid level is critical. Too much can cause foaming, affecting shift smoothness, while too little leads to insufficient lubrication and accelerated wear. Professional shops use precise measuring tools for safe and reliable refills. My last replacement was costly but avoided risks. Regular maintenance every 50,000-80,000 km extends lifespan; older models might require slightly less fluid—check official documentation. Don’t overlook oil temperature measurement, a key step in protecting high-performance engines.
