Default A little bird told me that if you use it in the quattro differentials you reduce drivetrain loss
Redline has a specific oil for the differentials. I wrote the info down, but it is at home. Call them, they are very helpful on the phone.

So I should use the same fluid in front diff as tranny? Will it void AoA warranty?
