Default Two quick questions ... Is Redline MT-90 ok to use in an auto

I was told to use it but not sure if they knew i Because i was told to use redline but i'm not sure if they knew i had an auto.

And what to use in the rear diff.? I stfa and read not to use mobil 1. What do you guys recommend for an auto in the rear diff. And i read the tech articles and printed them out b/c i will be doing the oil within the next couple of weeks, any other tips i should know that the tech article doesn't state?

Default I'm gonna go with no on this one...

Just use the factory fill ATF from your dealer. Not 100% on the part number, but I think it's: Part #G 052 162 A2

Default ECS has Pentosin stuff for like $12/litre.

Not sure what that equals in quarts.

Default NO, don't use MT-90 in a tip(auto gearbox)....

For the trans use either the Pentosin stuff, Febi-Bilstein makes a version or the OEM(prefer this stuff for the auto trans). There is a special oil for the diff as well(its not the G005000). Don't have my manual handy but I'll bet the QFrog does, with the part#.
The auto gearboxes in VW/Audi are particularly sensitive to what fluid you use and the level as well.
