Default Anyone here change their manual tranny oil to get better shifting and better protection?.....

I want to change to a good synthetic tranny oil, like Amsoil.

However, I heard that the tranny oil should only be Audi tranny oil and that it is a "lifetime" oil....from an Audi mechanic.
That just sounds wrong.
Could it lead to any potential problems, especially if I use the same weight oil....or does Audi oil have some "special" stuff in it?

Anyone make the switch and have good results? If so, what oil did you use?

TIA

Default OEM Fluid is already synthetic

Personally, I think switching to Redline or Amsoil..etc

is overkill, but it's up to you
