Can someone help me identify MTF oil if is genuine or not really.
I purchased this recently from online vendor as a genuine G055549A2 Transmission oil.
However I'm not sure what to think as bottle looks different to any other pictures of this oil (different shape of bottle and label)
Any one of you meet with this one ?
Thank you
Looks genuine enough. Different markets sometimes use different (more local) suppliers. I know counterfeit NGK spark plugs are a big thing but it's a big market. I wouldn't think that VW/AUDI OEM fluids would be a big enough market to go through the trouble of counterfeiting.
0CK - ATF: G 055 529 A2 / MTF: G 052 549 A2
0CJ - ATF: G 055 529 A2 / MTF: G 052 549 A2
0CL - ATF: G 055 529 A2 / MTF: G 055 549 A2
The ATF has a regular change interval; the MTF has none. The ATF is the same across the three, but the MTF is different for the 0CL because that fluid also lubricates the Torsen center diff. So that bottle wouldn't be correct for an 0CK, technically.
G means fluid; A2 means 1L bottle (for these p/ns). As for legitimacy, who can say. Yes, it doesn't look like the normal VAG bottle of that style, such as seen here: https://www.drive2.ru/l/653012326315733789/ But is it a new bottling supplier? There's no way anyone can validate that. But a quick search on google images for that p/n brings up bottles that are all rounded at the label top, not pointed.

Thank you for interesting
I know MTF: G 052 549 A2 is replaced now by G055 549 A2
And this bote have label form February 2024 , so possibly new bottle shape .
There is substitute G 052 549 A2 on the market for example revanol .
But I decide to change for new recommended genuine fluid as this is not very often change . And then this bottle arrived and I start have doubts .
Replacement of G 052 549 by G 055 549 in the 0CK is subject to whatever is said in TSB 2049840, which I find no copy of anywhere. G 052 549 is still the MTF for the FWD 0CS 6MT and the quattro ultra 0CX 6MT and 0CJ DCT. So without the text of the TSB, can neither confirm nor deny G 055 549 for your 0CK.
In either case, as I said, searching the Internet for pics of G 055 549, yours is the only one with the pointed label. You could drop by a dealership and see what bottle they hand you for that p/n.
Oddly, Audi USA seems to have no record of TPI 2049840, which is up to at least /15 (update 15).

After my research G 055 549 is newer version of G 052 549 with added modifier .
Action is regards gearbox with humming noise on slow speed when wheels are turned . This is regards to stick/slip effect when the front axle differential teeth press against each other .
By using fluid with additives we can significantly improves this effect.
G 055 549 is not a newer version of G 052 549. G 055 549 is different because it's used in the 0CL with the Torsen center diff. Did you find TPI 2049840 somewhere? So they're hoping the modifier in the G 055 549 will help with noise in the front diff in the 0CK? But that should equally apply to 0CS, 0CX, and 0CJ as well. But they are not in the scope of the TPI, as the parts catalog conveys it. Did you have this noise issue?
Yes I did . On erWin audi . There is no any technical data about oil but is state that there is improve adhesion and sliding characteristic.
I do not see any charm to swap G 052 549 with G 055 549
I do not have this noise issue , but also I'm not sure what oil is presently in gearbox .
I change oil due to militance purpose ( I know is not an interval MTF due to audi ...)
Yeah, it's not on erwin.audiusa.com. You can be sure the factory loaded that 0CK with G 052 549. It shouldn't matter which is in it though; you'd be draining it out before putting in the new. But if you don't have the problem exhibit for which the TPI was produced, I'd probably stick to the factory build. The TPI didn't classify any specifics regarding engine or VIN range or anything? If you found it, download it and post it up so the rest of us know what it says (I'm not paying money to look up a TPI that doesn't even apply to me). erwin.audi.com won't even load due to their geofencing bs.

Sorry I bought only 1hr access to check that . Action is as I write above . Basically if you have humming noise when turning then this oil apply.
When I check my car by win I have booth of this oil ...
I'm guess that all cars after certain year are with G 055 .
Possibly like on the beginning all engines drive on 5w30 oil now is 0w30 ? and all will be correct.
