Well I am wanting to change out my trans filter and replace the trans fluid with this Amsoil one. I have a few questions though, I'm hoping that someone here can answer for me!

First, Is this fluid okay to use in my 2000 A6 2.8?

And second, I am not going to do a complete flush, just what ever drains out of the pan when I drop it. Would it be okay to mix this with the original fluid in the trans?

And last, how much quarts will I need to buy to have enough?

Thanks for any help guys!

 

where is the transmission filter anyways? and how do you go about replacing it ?

 

Check here!
You need a VAG-COM to complete the job as you need to check operating temperature while filling up with ATF.

 

I doubt the Amsoil ATF is compatible with the recommended ATF

• 5 Liters of OEM Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Mfg By Pentosin of Germany (Adequate quantity of fluid for filter change).
  Fluid meets Audi Vw TL52162 specifications and is equivalent to Audi part number VW G 052 162 A2.

 

So I guess I'd need to do a complete fush then huh? Do you guys know where I could get some fliud that is compatible at a reasonable price?

 

I am afraid that you are stuck with OEM or Pentosin ATF, neither of which is cheap, as there seems to be nothing else compatible for les money. On the positive side you probably won't replace your ATF for another few years.

 

Try Force five in Concord NH or Blauparts for the trans fluid.
