3000 KM Oil Changes

I booked my appointment to get the first oil change in two days. Im at a little over 3000km right now.

I also told them to do a diff fluid change - and I thought I was being super concerned and nice to my new car by asking for a tranny fluid change. Eyebrows raised at the service desk.. but they booked me.

I got a call an hour later from the service writer.. giving me a heads up that the trans fluid job would be about $500 and they had to order the fluid in. Was a special fluid - I think he said.

I cancelled the tranny part.

Whats so bloody special about the trans fluid on a 2017 A8 ? Is it different than the '16? Cant be.., can it?

No way they haven't opened a '16 up yet..
