Additional Notes

  • All configurations of the Audi R8 Spyder 4S9 share identical automatic transmission fluid capacities across every power output and drivetrain variant listed, with a service fill range of 8 to 10.5 liters and a dry fill capacity of 11.8 liters.
  • The service fill range of 8 to 10.5 liters reflects the variable amount of fluid required during a routine fluid change, where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and transmission passages after draining.
  • The dry fill figure of 11.8 liters represents the total fluid volume needed when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full rebuild or replacement of the unit.
  • The gap between the upper service fill value of 10.5 liters and the dry fill of 11.8 liters, approximately 1.3 liters, corresponds to the volume of fluid that typically cannot be evacuated through a standard drain procedure and remains trapped within the transmission assembly.
  • All specifications apply under normal use conditions, meaning the listed capacities are not adjusted for severe-duty or high-stress operating environments in any of the listed configurations.
  • The transmission unit across all rows is described as a transaxle with a semi-automatic S tronic configuration, a dual-clutch design mounted at the rear axle in combination with the engine, which is characteristic of mid-engine layouts where the gearbox and differential share a common housing.
  • The RWD variants span power outputs of 397 kW and 419 kW, while the quattro variants cover a wider range of outputs including 397 kW, 419 kW, 449 kW, and 456 kW, yet all share the same transmission fluid capacity figures.
  • The 397 kW RWD variant has two separate year range entries, covering 2017-2020 and 2020-2021, both carrying identical fluid specifications, indicating no change in transmission fluid requirements across that production period.
