How often should the transmission fluid of an Audi A4 be changed?
2 Answers
Audi A4 transmission fluid should be changed approximately every 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, and its functions are: ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the service life of the transmission components. Taking the 2021 Audi A4 Fashion Elegance model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4762mm, width 1847mm, height 1436mm, wheelbase 2825mm, and fuel tank capacity 54L. The 2021 Audi A4 Fashion Elegance model is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 204ps and a maximum power of 150kw.
I've been driving an Audi A4 for several years, and changing the transmission fluid is something you really can't overlook. Generally, manual transmission fluid should be changed every 50,000 to 60,000 miles, while for automatic transmissions like dual-clutch ones, it's recommended between 60,000 and 80,000 miles. Why? Because I've experienced it—if you don't change it, the fluid deteriorates, leading to rough shifting, slower acceleration, and even transmission overheating and failure. In daily driving, if you frequently encounter traffic jams or drive at high speeds, the fluid gets dirty faster, so you should check it earlier. Every time I go for maintenance, the technician uses professional equipment to test the fluid quality—if it looks dark and dirty, it's time for a change. In short, changing the fluid is a small expense, costing just a few hundred dollars at most, but it can save you tens of thousands in major repairs and greatly benefit your car's lifespan. Don't delay it.
