Additional Notes

  • The initial fill capacity of 8.6 liters across all listed configurations represents the total fluid volume required when filling a dry transmission, such as after a complete overhaul or unit replacement.
  • The refill capacity of 3.6 to 4 liters reflects the amount of automatic transmission fluid needed during a routine service drain, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages.
  • The Audi A4 Allroad 8KH body style covers the 155 kW 2.0 TFSI variant for 2012-2013, while the 8K body style carries the 162 kW 2.0 TFSI variant for 2013-2016, with both sharing identical capacity figures despite the power difference.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transmission fluid check interval is set at 20,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, for both the 155 kW and 162 kW variants.
  • A separate first check only interval of 15,000 miles or 24 months applies to both variants, indicating an earlier inspection point tied specifically to the initial service period of the transmission rather than ongoing routine maintenance.
  • The refill range of 3.6 to 4 liters rather than a fixed value reflects normal variation in how much fluid drains depending on fluid temperature, drain time, and transmission condition at the time of service.
