Question gear oil??

My 2003 a4 3.0 quattro has over 100k on her and I'm getting ready for spring by ordering parts now. I want to order new gear oil was thinking Redline MTL, but I am open to suggestions. Anyone have a preference or comment?

Oh, any1 know how much she holds? Thanks in advance.

Tranny or rear diff?
i'm going to use Motul (allready have the bottles) when it gets warmer out. I forget the weight off the top of my head. But i am also a 5speed.

I used MOTUL GEAR 300 RACING 75W90 on my 2004 6sp. You will need 6 liters to change tranny anr rear def. here is the website where I got mine http://www.ltbmotorsports.com/
And by the way some people say that you need a special socket to drain the rear def., check your car mine was the regular 17mm allen. or something like this. Good luck

royal purple is overhyped. if you look at raw specs, amsoil is best, followed by motul, then royal purple
