Default Replaced my gearbox oil with Redline 75W90 today...

After playing with GoKart's car last weekend, and noting that his smooths were smooth as butter, I decided to have this done at the local auto-repair-monkey shop.

It took just under 3 quarts of oil, a gravity feed filler, a 14mm Hex, and about an hour of time.

All is very <i>SMOOTH</i> now.

Brad, the piping that runs in front of the fill point is part of the AC unit. Interestingly enough, instead of a 14mm socket, this shop happened to have a BMW differential tool which is also 14mm and a perfect fit for the tight space in our cars...worked like a champ.

Thanks for the help over the phone this morning!

Default LOL - WRONG - Redline offers MTL or MT-90 - different weights to meet different specs

MT-90 went in my A4 and most likely will put it in my TT as well - meets the 75-90 wt spec for Audi.

Redline recommends MT90 for the gearbox.
