No . . . audi specifies a GL4/5 or GL4+. Mind you these are completely diff from GL4 and GL5
separately.
You're looking at the old 1998 information for the Motul Gear 300. It was reformulated in 2003.

Shift feel, higher viscosity, lower wear, cost.
Motul Gear 300 feels a lot better than stock. Not as grainy when going through the gears. Its also a full group V synth. OEM is unknown but I wouldn't be surprised if its made of the same high quality stuff.
I was changing around due to shift feel and I wanted to get the initial wear metals out of the transmission.

I live at 8000ft and consistantly see temps < 0 each morning, no probs shifting w/ MT90.
I switched out the stock stuff a month ago and shifting has greatly improved (but i think this might be because the oem stuff had 50k on it).
Overall, i am happy with the Redline product. I have an open mind though and would consider Motul next time i change drivetrain fuilds.
