Audi A5, S5, RS 5 Cabriolet, 8F (USA)

Additional Notes

• The Audi A5 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI quattro (155 kW) covering 2009-2013 carries a 9-liter initial fill for its automatic transmission, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled unit. The refill capacity of 3.6-4 liters represents the smaller volume needed when fluid is drained and replaced during a service without a full disassembly.
• The 162 kW variant of the A5 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI quattro, spanning 2013-2017 across two sub-ranges, uses a slightly lower initial fill of 8.6 liters compared to the 9-liter figure of the 155 kW version, while the refill range of 3.6-4 liters remains unchanged across both power outputs.
• For the A5 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI quattro automatic transmission, the normal-use check interval is set at 20,000 miles or 24 months, while the first check only condition brings that interval forward to 15,000 miles or 24 months. The time component of 24 months remains the same under both conditions, meaning the mileage threshold is the only differentiating factor.
• The S-tronic transmission fitted to the S5 Cabriolet 3.0 TFSI quattro (245 kW) and the RS 5 Cabriolet 4.2 FSI quattro (331 kW) is treated as two separate fluid systems in the specifications: a clutch part and a transmission part, each with distinct capacities and service schedules.
• The clutch part of the S-tronic across the S5 Cabriolet 3.0 TFSI quattro (245 kW) for 2009-2015 holds 7.5 liters at initial fill and 6.7 liters at refill. The narrow gap between initial fill and refill capacity indicates that a relatively small amount of fluid is retained in the system after a drain, which is characteristic of wet-clutch dual-clutch transmission designs where fluid also serves a cooling and lubrication function for the clutch packs.
• For the S5 Cabriolet 3.0 TFSI quattro (245 kW) in the 8F7 body designation covering 2015-2017, the clutch part initial fill is listed as a range of 7-7.5 liters rather than the fixed 7.5-liter figure used for the same model in earlier years. The refill capacity of 6.7 liters remains consistent with prior model year entries.
• The S-tronic transmission part across all S5 Cabriolet 3.0 TFSI quattro (245 kW) configurations from 2009-2017 carries a fixed initial fill capacity of 4.35 liters. No separate refill figure is listed for the transmission part, unlike the clutch part which specifies both initial and refill volumes.
• The RS 5 Cabriolet 4.2 FSI quattro (331 kW) S-tronic transmission part specifies a change interval rather than a check interval. Under normal use, fluid in the transmission part is changed at 20,000 miles, while the first change only condition sets that at 15,000 miles. No time-based component accompanies the change interval for the transmission part.
• The S-tronic clutch part across the RS 5 Cabriolet 4.2 FSI quattro (331 kW) for 2012-2015 carries a normal-use change interval of 40,000 miles alongside a check at 20,000 miles or 24 months. Under the first change only condition, the change interval is reduced to 35,000 miles and the check is moved forward to 15,000 miles or 24 months.
• The S5 Cabriolet 3.0 TFSI quattro (245 kW) S-tronic clutch part shares the same 40,000-mile normal change interval and 35,000-mile first change only interval as the RS 5 Cabriolet 4.2 FSI quattro (331 kW), despite the significant difference in engine displacement and power output between the two models.
• Across all S5 Cabriolet 3.0 TFSI quattro (245 kW) entries from 2009-2017, the transmission part service schedule lists only a check interval, not a change interval. In contrast, the RS 5 Cabriolet 4.2 FSI quattro (331 kW) transmission part entries specify a change interval with no check interval, representing a structural difference in how the two models' transmission part service requirements are defined.
