Additional Notes

  • The Audi V8 4.2 carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 2.6 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul drain, where residual fluid typically remains in passages and cooler lines.
  • The specification covers both the manual gearbox and the transfer box as a combined transaxle unit, meaning the 2.6-liter capacity reflects the shared fluid volume across both assemblies rather than the gearbox alone.
  • The check interval is set at 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, and applies under normal use conditions for the 1992-1994 model years.
  • A 15,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal use conditions indicates a monitoring schedule rather than a mandatory fluid replacement, as the specification references a check rather than a drain-and-fill service.
