Default Thanks =) i wish i had a manual do, i think i found some really interesting

things about the fluid. Looks like the tranny is filled from factory with the Esso LT 71141.
Pentosin ATF is actually a substitude for the LT 71141. Esso LT 71141 is found in America but it is imported steel barrels, and each quart is 19.00 or more, so pentosin is a better price wise so far. Now Quaker State Multi Vehicle Atf is supposed to be a substitution. I found a link and it shows to be a substitution for the LT 71141, so now i wonder where i can buy this? Im going to try it and if it works out good im inclined in making a writte up.
Here is the link
Any ideas?
Thanks<ul><li><a href="http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/atfchange/quakerstateatf.pdf">http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/atfchange/quakerstateatf.pdf</a</li></ul>

Default here is the link in english, according to the specs it is a substitude

for Lt 71141, (found under bmw) again some BMW use the same tranny of course same fluid. I guess i will try it and let you guy's know, the only thing im worried about is viscosity at high temperatures, i'll research a little more. If i decide to use it;I'll take pictures of fluid color and prices, i'll test and let you guy's know.
Here is the link...Many Thanks =)<ul><li><a href="http://www.quakerstate.com/pds/TDS%20MultiVehicleAutomaticTransmissionFluid.pdf"> http://www.quakerstate.com/pds/TDS%20MultiVehicleAutomaticTransmissionFluid.pdf</a</li></ul>

AMSoil is excellent, Valvoline MaxLife, Mercon V or any "Universal" ATF.
