Additional Notes
- The Audi A3, S3, RS 3, 8P (EU) brake fluid specifications cover the hydraulic brake/clutch system with ABS across all listed configurations from 2006-2013.
- All four configurations share a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid is replaced on a fixed time-based schedule rather than a mileage-based one.
- The capacity specification for every listed configuration is expressed as "between min and max" rather than a fixed volume, which reflects a top-up or level-check approach rather than a measured service fill or full system overhaul quantity.
- The RS 3 (2011-2013) carries the same 24-month brake fluid change interval and level-based capacity specification as the S3 variants, despite representing a higher-performance configuration within the 8P lineup.
- The S3 2.0 TFSI quattro is represented by two distinct power outputs for the 2009-2013 period: 188 kW and 195 kW. Both share identical brake fluid service specifications, indicating no differentiation in brake fluid service requirements between the two output levels.
- The S3 2.0 TFSI quattro (188 kW) spans two separate year groupings, 2006-2008 and 2009-2013, yet the brake fluid service specifications remain consistent across both periods with no change in interval or capacity guidance.
