Additional Notes

  • The Audi A3 30 TGI g-tron (96 kW) carries a capacity of only 1.7 liters for the s tronic transaxle, a notably low figure compared to other semi-automatic units in the same lineup, reflecting the compact nature of the dual-clutch assembly paired with the g-tron drivetrain.
  • The A3 35 TDI (110 kW) lists both a dry fill capacity of 6.9 liters and a service fill range of 6.0-6.4 liters. The dry fill represents the total system volume when the transmission is completely empty, while the lower service fill accounts for residual fluid that remains in the torque converter and passages during a standard drain procedure.
  • A fluid change interval of 120,000 km under normal use conditions is specified for the A3 35 TDI (110 kW) semi-automatic transaxle.
  • The RS 3 2.5 TFSI quattro carries an initial fill range of 6.9-7.1 liters, indicating a slight assembly tolerance in the total fluid volume required when the transmission is first built or fully overhauled. The service fill drops to 5.5 liters, the largest gap between initial and service fill values among the configurations listed here.
  • The S3 2.0 TFSI quattro in both the 228 kW variant (2020-2024) and the 245 kW variant (2024 onward) share identical capacity figures of 6.9 liters for initial fill and 6.0 liters for service fill, as well as the same 120,000 km change interval under normal use conditions.
  • Across the S3 2.0 TFSI quattro and A3 35 TDI configurations, the service fill is consistently lower than the initial or dry fill, a pattern that reflects how routine fluid changes do not require a full system drain and therefore use less fluid than a first-time or overhaul fill.
