The change is amazing! Shifts much smoother, all noise is gone, great product.

Also put Redline synthetic in the engine.

Gotta do the Haldex service and change the brake fluid.

Love the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Different viscosity and formulation. Claims made on the Redline URL seem true.

Default refilling can be a bit of a pain...

you need either a pump to pump the new fluid in, or a long piece of tubing to run up past the battery to a funnel. not too bad otherwise.

How much does it take and how long does it take to empty and refill.

About 20 minutes, approximately 2.5 quarts. I have a filler very flexable hose.

Default I have some MT-90 sitting in the garage for months now I couldn't find the fill plug?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/24828/transplug.jpg"></center><p>Mines a 2K 180 FWD.Dunno if it makes a difference?
I imagine this is the drain plug but I just don't see a fill plug. Got to get back under there &amp; feel around.
