Additional Notes

  • The 8.6-liter initial fill capacity across all Audi Q7 and SQ7 configurations represents a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity, accounting for fluid distributed throughout the torque converter, valve body, and transmission passages when the unit is completely empty.
  • The refill capacity, used when servicing a transmission that retains residual fluid, ranges from 3.6 to 4 liters across most configurations, reflecting only the volume drained during a standard pan-drop service rather than a complete fluid exchange.
  • The Q7 2.0 T quattro (185 kW) and Q7 3.0 T quattro (245 kW) for 2016-2018 share an identical specification set, with an 8.6-liter initial fill, a 3.6-4 liter refill range, and a 20,000-mile or 24-month check interval.
  • The 45 TFSI quattro (185 kW) variant carries the same 8.6-liter initial fill and 3.6-4 liter refill range across both the 2018-2020 and 2020-2022 model year groupings, with no change to the check interval.
  • The 45 TFSI quattro rated at 195 kW, introduced from 2022 onward, retains the same transmission fluid capacities and check interval as the earlier 185 kW version of the same nameplate.
  • The Q7 55 TFSI quattro (245 kW) for 2018-2019 specifies a refill range of 3.6-4 liters, while the 250 kW version introduced from 2019 onward narrows the refill to a fixed 3.6 liters, removing the upper end of the range.
  • The SQ7 4.0 TFSI quattro (373 kW), despite its significantly higher output compared to the TFSI four-cylinder and six-cylinder variants, shares the same 8.6-liter initial fill, 3.6-liter refill, and 20,000-mile or 24-month check interval.
  • The 20,000-mile or 24-month check interval applies under normal use conditions across all listed configurations. A check interval does not necessarily indicate a full fluid replacement at that mileage or time point; rather, it marks when the fluid level and condition are to be inspected.
