It’s a two-for-one deal with transmission fluid, which is fantastic. We like it. It serves as both a lubricant and a coolant in the transmission. Pressurized fluid in an automatic gearbox plays an important role in transmission control and function. The fluid circulates throughout the mechanism as your car drives.
The fluid absorbs heat from the transmission while at the same time lubricating it. As a result, it prevents the transmission from overheating and experiencing excessive friction wear and tear. It stays in place for much longer than motor oil, so you won’t have to change it as frequently.

Changing your Audi A5 transmission filter is not as simple as changing the average automobile’s filters. The filter, which is generally a metal plate with a fiber material that captures pollutants, is one of several components in your transmission filter. Along with the filter, your Audi A5 will include a gasket, pickup tube, and rubber seal that all need to be replaced.
Your car’s transmission filter must be changed every 30,000 or 50 000 kilometers (50 000 km). For further information on mileage and time intervals, consult your vehicle’s maintenance handbook.
The Audi A5 is a two-door version of the Audi A4. There isn’t much more to say about the Audi A5 than there is to the Audi A4, which features essentially identical styling, interior, and engine range. Despite claims that the A5 is a touch sportier than the deliberately unsportsmanlike fourth-generation Audi A4 on which it’s based, it feels very similar to drive. And no, that isn’t a criticism.
The A5 is a car for individuals and couples. If you need to transport people in the back or a lot of luggage, the A5 Sportback (or just go back to an A4) is your best bet. The rear seats in the A5 Coupe are not bad at all; they can even fit two adults on short trips. For a two-door coupe, it’s not too terrible. More information may be found under the Interior tab.
