Audi A8 Tiptronic – Three Oils, One Hidden Filter

An Audi A8 That Deserves Proper Care

Here we have an Audi A8 with a Tiptronic automatic gearbox. A serious car that deserves proper attention. If you drive one, there's something important I want you to know about Audi A8 Tiptronic gearbox service: this gearbox has three different oils and a filter. Every one of them matters if you want the gearbox to last.

Why Does Audi A8 Tiptronic Gearbox Service Involve Three Oils?

Servicing a Tiptronic gearbox isn't just a matter of changing one oil. There are three different oils and a filter at the front. The service interval is 120,000 km with genuine oil or 40,000 km with an alternative. Neglect these oil changes and, once the damage is done, there's no going back!

There's something else worth remembering: the spark plugs. They need replacing every 60,000 km, not just when the car starts giving you trouble.

What Other Workshops Often Overlook

Many workshops don't even know about the Tiptronic's front filter. Others simply turn a blind eye to it. It's much the same story with spark plugs – they only replace them "if there's a problem". But why wait for trouble when the manufacturer has already specified the replacement interval?

When this A8 came into Das Auto Service, we gave it the attention it deserved. We don't wait for something to break before dealing with it. I insist on servicing cars on time, using the correct parts and consumables, and thinking about all the miles still ahead.

What We Did to the Car

We changed all three Tiptronic oils and replaced the front filter. We also serviced the ignition system by fitting new spark plugs. These are exactly the things you should never overlook.

Ready for New Challenges

This Audi A8 is now ready for whatever comes next. And if there's one thing I want you to remember, it's that proper maintenance starts before something goes wrong. We provide a two-year warranty for private customers.
