What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 Audi S5

Your S5 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Audi, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Audi S5, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Audi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
