Additional Notes

  • The Audi R8 Spyder 429 (EU) automatic transmission fluid specifications cover two distinct semi-automatic transaxle types across the 2010-2015 model range: the r tronic and the s tronic, each with notably different fluid capacities.
  • R tronic-equipped variants, including the 4.2 FSI quattro (316 kW) and 5.2 FSI quattro (386 kW) for 2010-2012, as well as the R8 Spyder GT for 2011-2012, carry a base capacity of 3.5 liters. When a transmission oil cooler is present, the total capacity rises to 4 liters to account for the additional fluid volume held within the cooler circuit.
  • The s tronic transaxle, fitted to 2012-2015 variants across the 4.2 FSI quattro, 5.2 FSI quattro, and 5.2 FSI plus quattro configurations, specifies a capacity range of 8 to 10.5 liters. A variable range rather than a fixed figure typically reflects differences in fluid retained during a service drain versus a complete overhaul fill, or variation due to individual unit differences at the time of service.
  • The shift from r tronic to s tronic between the 2010-2012 and 2012-2015 periods represents a significant change in transmission architecture. The s tronic is a dual-clutch design, which generally requires a larger fluid volume than a single-clutch automated manual like the r tronic, consistent with the capacity difference seen across these specifications.
  • The R8 Spyder GT, produced for 2011-2012, shares the same r tronic transaxle fluid capacity as the standard 4.2 FSI and 5.2 FSI quattro models of the same period, with 3.5 liters as the base fill and 4 liters when a transmission oil cooler is installed.
  • All six configurations listed carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the specified capacities and service parameters apply to standard operating conditions rather than a severe or extended-use classification.
