Additional Notes

  • The Audi A5 Cabriolet F57 / F5E rear differential carries two distinct capacity figures across all listed configurations: 0.96 liter and 0.67 liter. The presence of two separate capacity values for the same differential position typically reflects a fill-to-overflow service capacity versus a total overhaul or dry-fill capacity, meaning the smaller figure is the more common service reference.
  • The 2.0 TFSI quattro at 185 kW, covering model years 2017-2018, shares both the 0.96-liter and 0.67-liter rear differential capacities with the later 45 TFSI quattro badge at the same 185 kW output for 2018-2020, indicating no change in rear differential hardware between those two naming conventions despite the badge revision.
  • The 45 TFSI quattro at 195 kW, introduced from 2020, also carries the same 0.96-liter and 0.67-liter rear differential capacities, meaning the power increase from 185 kW to 195 kW did not result in a change to the rear differential fluid volume specification.
  • All listed configurations share a uniform rear differential check interval of every 20,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format means the time-based interval of 24 months can apply before the mileage threshold is reached in lower-mileage driving patterns.
  • The check interval specification applies exclusively to normal use conditions across all rows. No severe-use interval is listed for any of the rear differential entries in the 2017-2020 range.
