My car is currently at the dealer having this revise done. When I pick it up and have the invoice in front of me I will post the details.

Just got the car back from the dealer after they changed tranny fluid and differential. After a 10% discount the total bill for both was $868.95. The part number for the ATF is G-060-162-A2 and the part number for the differential fluid is G-052-145-S2. ATF was $45.90 per liter and the differential was $36.40 per liter.

i wouldnt run anything like that yet. I dont think anything on the market right now is considered a replacement for the lifegaurd fluid. Its just like "special" fluids from he 90's and early 00's, current fluids didnt meet the spec needed so they had to make special blends. Now that aftermarket has caught up fluids on the market now easliy surpass the original spec. Some day fluids will catch up but i dont think it has quite yet.

They are full of $hit. The manufacturer of the tranny suggests every 60k miles. In addition, there is a TSB for you year calling for a fluid change and a software update to the tranny. I have an 05 4.2 and it is at the dealer having the fluids changed for the third time.
