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

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! -

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.

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