BUTTER. I was having some major vibrations and was entertaining ideas of a faulty center diff, broken motor mount, broken tranny mount, etc...
So before i got to any of that, I switched to the respective Red Line oil (with major help from some friends) for each differential and the vibration is completely gone!

Did you use Audi's "special" drainplug tool, or just a 1/2" drive adapter?
