Wikipedia showed an S Tronic transmission. The Audi brochure shows a eight speed Tiptronic.

In the initial communication to the person at ZF The OP stated he had an 8-speed Tiptronic so that should settle which transmission ZF is talking about, unless they didn't read his inquiry correctly.

I believe a ZF employee ment 8 speed tiptronic (as I made it perfectly clear in my inquiry) although he did not specifically state which one.

So anyway, the safe harbor rule is if a car is driven aggressively then ATF oil change s/b done between 45K-75K miles (80,000km-120,00km). Otherwise 100K miles s/b the time for ATF oil change.
