A4 chassis VW or Audi A4? In any case I can't speak directly to an 02A VW transaxle or whatever the Audi uses, but I have had excellent luck with Redline MT-90 in 020 transaxles (and old Borg-Warner T10s as well, although that means absolutely nothing relative to your query. The last one I used Heavy Shockproof at the recommend of a drag racing friend, and it is a little stiffer shifting but still eminently acceptable.) I've also heard that Swepco works well but didn't have a local source for it when I had VWs although now that I don't, I do Currently running Redline Heavy Shockproof in the Jeep's axles, although that doesn't really mean anything, but their D4 ATF seems to be working great in the Jeep's Aisin-Warner AW4 transmission. yeah, I pretty much have a very positive opinion of Redline products and shift quality/feel... nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Well, trash films have their audience or they won't exist. Some people just GOT to have their incompetence on display thinly veiled as arrogance (it;s widespread malaise where I live, but apparently it found its way into the new world also: the guy is the regular poster to a nascar NG if that tells you anything :-)))))) |

You can always check with the dealership about using a lighter weight. They have recommended weight oils for a reason. |

The solution was to blend half the volume with the recommended grade, and half with a heavier grade, both to GL5 spec. YMMV David |

I know Redline is advertised as sulfur-free and yellow metal synchronizer safe, that is why I tried it instead of the Swepco; I haven't had a reason to switch since. NB: this is based on my knowledge of VW 020/02A transaxles and may not be applicable to the OP's Audi. FWIW Redline recommends MT-90 for OP's app but I would get an opinion from someone who has actually used it in that specific transaxle (search Audi-specific forums) before switching. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
