Additional Notes

  • The Skoda Octavia IV rear differential fluid capacity is 0.9 liter across the 2.0 TDI (110 kW) 4x4, 2.0 TDI RS (147 kW) 4x4, and 2.0 TSI (140 kW) 4x4 variants for 2020-2024. A single capacity figure with no distinction between initial and service fill indicates a fill-to-level specification rather than a volume-based drain-and-refill procedure.
  • The front axle lock differential on the Octavia IV 2.0 TSI RS (180 kW) carries two separate capacity values: 0.6 liter for initial fill and 0.4 liter for service fill. The lower service fill figure reflects the residual fluid that remains in the unit after draining, meaning only a partial refill is required during routine maintenance.
  • The same 0.6 liter initial fill and 0.4 liter service fill values apply equally to the 2.0 TSI RS (180 kW) PF variant for 2020-2024, indicating the front axle lock differential unit is shared between the standard and particulate filter-equipped versions of that engine.
  • The front axle lock differential on the 2.0 TSI RS (195 kW) starting from 2024 carries the same 0.6 liter initial fill and 0.4 liter service fill specification as the lower-output RS variants, despite the increase in engine output.
  • A 24-month change interval is specified for the front axle lock differential fluid on all three TSI RS configurations. No equivalent change interval appears in the rear differential specifications for the 4x4 variants, where only a capacity figure is listed.
  • The front axle lock differential is a distinct system from the rear differential. A locking front differential mechanically couples the front axle shafts to improve traction, and its smaller fluid capacity of 0.4 liter at service reflects a more compact housing compared to a conventional open rear differential.
