You have to ask - it is a sealed for life unit as far as Audi are concerned I think.

What do you mean sealed? It's no need to change or how ?

Thanks

Audi say the gearboxes are supposed to be "sealed for the life of the car" but ZF (who actually make the gearbox) say ythat you should change the oil every 62k miles (100k KM) or 8 years for ANY gearbox they make! - https://www.zf.com/corporate/en_de/afte ... ang_1.html

Thanks for clarifying, I ask Audi dealer then:)

It's usually a problem getting the service people to read past the "Sealed of Life" section in their maintenance documents, rather than actually having a look for the oil procedure, but there definitely is one.

Did Audi dealer said that?

[FinlandRS6C7]

Yes

[Tadass910]

Yes

Well if you not ask Audi dealers not change transmission oil

[FinlandRS6C7]

Yes. Audi dealer says transmission etc every 60000km if you want i can take pic service program.

Yes. Audi dealer says transmission etc every 60000km if you want i can take pic service program.

Is that due to cold conditions though - counting as extreme due to viscosity changes?

[Tadass910]

Yes. Audi dealer says transmission etc every 60000km if you want i can take pic service program.

Maybe in Finland are other rules, maybe because in your country sometimes it get really cold

[FinlandRS6C7]

Yes. I think that could be reason of that. We have same service manual in Finland and Germany.
