Default Its the same...
When I bought the filter kit for my '00 4.2 from a ZF rebuilder / distributor, I asked which fluid he uses. He told me he generally buys in bulk (55 gal drums) directly from Esso, but uses the Pentosin branded stuff when he runs out. Said there is no difference between Pentosin ATF and the Audi stuff (except the price).

Default Actually, it's made by ESSO....
