Additional Notes

  • The Audi A6 Allroad 4B transfer case holds 0.8 liter of fluid across all listed configurations, a relatively small capacity consistent with the compact, torque-splitting transfer cases used in quattro all-wheel-drive systems of that generation.
  • The 0.8 liter figure represents a service fill level, meaning the amount of fluid present during normal operation rather than a total system volume measured during a full overhaul or disassembly.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transfer case fluid check interval for all listed configurations is set at 20,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • A separate first check only interval of 15,000 miles or 12 months applies to all listed configurations, reflecting an earlier inspection point during the initial break-in period of the transfer case fluid.
  • The 4.2 5V quattro producing 221 kW shares the same 0.8 liter transfer case capacity and identical check intervals as the 2.7 5V Bi Turbo variants, despite the significant difference in engine displacement and output.
  • The 2.7 5V Bi Turbo engine appears in two distinct output ratings across the covered years: 187 kW for 2000-2002 and 2002-2004, and 169 kW for 2002-2005, yet both share the same transfer case fluid capacity and service schedule.
  • The 187 kW Bi Turbo variant is listed under two overlapping year ranges, 2000-2002 and 2002-2004, each carrying its own set of normal and first check only service entries with identical specifications.
