Default ATF info

Somebody used Castrol Imports MultiVehicle ATF?
An update- Castrol specifications:
good for:
AUDI - G-055-025-A2 (what is this?)

BMW - LT71141

Currently AUDI (for more than 10 years) is using LT71141 (VW G-052-162-A2)
(ZF transmissions 5HP19FLA (and many more) require --- LT71141)

AUDI (VW) and BMW are using the same ZF transmissions.

Based on that fact one could conclude that the ATF should be the same?

Any comments?

Just spoke over the phone with Castrol.usa.
They confirmed suitability of MultiVehicle Imports ATF for Audi ( using Esso LT 71141).

OK, I got the Castrol info off of their site at: http://www.audiforums.com/fb.asp?m=698164. Did you go with Castrol or with Audi ATF? I am refilling a TT. They are selling the ATF from Audi at $30 a liter after quoting over the phone for $25.50. Either way it seems way too high for ATF fluid. Did you load the Castrol?

I used Castrol.
Drained the fluid.
Dropped the pan.
replaced the filter.
Assembled.
Refill (gravity, very time consuming). Suggest have a suction gun and pump in the till level. Then level at the correct temperature by gravity fill.
Used about 6 l.
