Hi Jessica, changing the automatic transmission fluid on your Audi A6 is an important maintenance task. It's recommended to do this every 60,000 miles or every 4-5 years. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Locate the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) drain and fill plugs underneath your car.
2. Place a catch pan underneath the drain plug.
3. Remove the fill plug first to avoid any issues with overfilling.
4. Then remove the drain plug and let the fluid drain completely.
5. Once drained, replace the drain plug and torque it to the specified amount (usually 20 Nm).
6. Use a funnel to fill the transmission with the recommended ATF and remember to check the level with the dipstick frequently to avoid overfilling.
7. Replace the fill plug and torque it to the specified amount.
Hope this helps, Jessica. Good luck!

Dear Jessica, changing the automatic transmission fluid can be a bit of a daunting task, especially for first-timers. But don't worry, here's a quick and easy guide:
1. Start by warming up your car until the engine is at normal operating temperature. This will help the fluid to flow more freely.
2. Locate the ATF drain and fill plugs.
3. Place a catch pan underneath the drain plug to catch the old fluid.
4. Remove the fill plug first and let the excess fluid drain out.
5. Once drained, replace the drain plug and torque it to the specified amount.
6. Use a funnel to refill the transmission with the recommended ATF. Check the level with the dipstick frequently to avoid overfilling.
7. Replace the fill plug and torque it to the specified amount.
That's it, Jessica! You've successfully changed your Audi A6's automatic transmission fluid. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
