Hi,
My A6 Tiptronic box is due for a 100K fluid and filter service. The "Lifetime" fluid has reached the end of its life.
I was going to get 12 L of Pentosin ATF and do 2 changes, around $160 plus the filter at Amazon. Amazon also has MAG 1 full synthetic multi vehicle ATF that is recommended to be used where LT71141 is specified. At $34 for 6 L it looks like an economical alternative to Pentosin ATF 1. Pentosin is not OEM for ZF transmissions anyway, ( its an expensive DEXRON III ), so I am leaning towards the MAG 1 ATF.
Any one used the MAG 1 ATF in an Audi ZF box ?

 

Hi, I have an answer to my own question. I just talked to the indie tranny shop repairing my wifes BMW ZF box ( bad solenoid) and they use the MAG 1 ATF in their rebuilt ZF boxes. They only work on ZF and Aisin transmissions. They give a 5 year 60000 mile parts and labor warrantee on their rebuilds, MAG 1 can't be too bad. They will flush and refill the BMW box with the MAG 1 so I get to try it out on the wife's car first
They will use the BMW fluid if I want but it's an extra $300 and no change in warrantee
