I just got a (new to me) Audi a6 2.7T quattro, and I want to change out the tranny fluids, see if I can make it more smooth. It has 78k miles on it and perhaps has never had that done.

I've always used Redline MTL and MT-90, what do you guys recommend? And what should that job cost me at a audi indie mechanic?

EDITED to add, I have the 6MT.

 

VW/ATF its that red stuff that's what you should use

 

I forgot to mention, I have the 6 speed MT, so, the VW/ATF would be, err, bad.

 

Man. Audi never ceases to amaze. If I put ATF into the V70's tranny, drama ensues.

Let us know how it works out, O.S.

 

manual tranny = 75W/90 synthetic

 

i ran redline mt90 in my 1999.5 a4 I had and it definatly smoothened the shifting. I'd check around the forums for some of the d.i.y. posts and see what guys are using, I know when i had it done in the a4 they wanted 35$ to do it(labor only)

 

mobil 1 makes a bomb *** 75w90 full synthetic...

you should be fine with that...

 

I actually tried mobil 1's synthetic first in my box, not good. Mobil 1 is a gear oil 75w-90. Redline mt-90 is a manual transmission oil with special additives specifically intended for smoother shifting and better syncronizer protection
