Additional Notes

  • The Audi RS 3 2.5 TFSI quattro (294 kW) rear differential carries a fluid capacity of 0.94 liter across both production date variants listed for 2017-2020.
  • The specifications distinguish between two rear differential configurations on the RS 3 2.5 TFSI quattro (294 kW): one applying to units produced up to 15 April 2019, and another applying to units produced as of 15 April 2019, with the 15 April 2019 date serving as the dividing point between the two.
  • Despite the split at the 15 April 2019 production date, the rear differential fluid capacity of 0.94 liter remains identical for both configurations, meaning the production date distinction does not affect the service fill volume.
  • A rear differential capacity of 0.94 liter is a relatively modest fill volume, consistent with a compact limited-slip or torque-vectoring rear differential unit rather than a larger axle assembly.
  • Both rear differential entries are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the listed 0.94 liter capacity figure applies under standard operating circumstances rather than severe or competition-oriented service.
