2014 Audi S8 Questions & Answers

  • How much can I tow in a Audi S8? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your S8 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • How often does my S8 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Audi S8’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Audi's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Audi S8 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Audi S8, potentially causing transmission problems.
