Hi i am wondering what type of transmission oil does 2012 Audi A8 takes ? as i have been experiencing some issues with the transmission gear when i start my car first time in a day, as the transmission is not warm enough my car will surge automatically from 2-3 gear to lower gear with a surge nose too , so someone recommended to change the oil , it has 80k kms on it
please suggest

Yep, this is D4,. sorry for my earlier confusion... clicked in by accident from D2.

This is the right forum?? (Unless an admin moved it?) I don't have an answer to your question per se, but I can tell you that these transmission seem to shift a little weirdly until they are warmed up, locking out certain gears and such. I am sure someone will be along shortly more informed on these beasts than I!

Should be ZF Lifeguard 8 or equivalent spec.

I used something similar to this in my D3, worked really well and was so much cheaper.

If you aren't doing filter they sell that fluid by itself on the same site.
