I have a 1998 A4 2.8 Quattro. The car has 77,000 miles and I have not changed the Timing Belt. The manual says to change it at 90.000. This seems high, don't most companies say to change it at 60,000. I have not changed the Automatic Trans Fluid. One mechanic says not to change it all, the fluid is made to last the life of the car. Another said to change it at 100.000 miles. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I did my 2.8 TB at 85k and ATF at 55k. It's spensif.

not suitable for long interchange intervals then I'd rather go with something different. Any suggestions?<ul><li><a href="http://www.redlineoil.com/pdf/3.pdf">http://www.redlineoil.com/pdf/3.pdf</a></li></ul>

Audi Tip ATF is what I use. Can't get better, just similar at best. Mobil 1 works, save $50

So is the Mobil 1 worth saving the $50?

Techs get too uptight about trans fluid specs, imo. I would use M1 if it was a super-old car...or I wanted to pre-flush it before Audi fluid. I dunno, it just made sense to use the oem in mine and most cases. Those trannys are spensif.
