Need Auto trans & diffs help
I did a search and nothing has all the info.
So I just purchased a 2000 S4 with Trip.
I don't believe in lifetime fluids! This comes from 13+ years with BMW's, the last being my 525 that was traded for the S4.
Anyway, I need to know if it's ok to use Redline ATF in the auto trans? Can it mix with the Audi yellow stuff? IS straight ATF ok, or is there some other type? Lastly, how much does it hold?
I'm also going to change the center & rear diff fluid also. Of course I'm using Redline, is 75-90ok, or do I need straight 90w?
Then how much do they hold?

Redline D4, Mobil 1 Syn ATF, or OEM
The M1 syn ATF can be found at most autozones for $5 a quart. Better specs than the D4 and the OEM. Tranny holds 9.5L, depending on if you drop the pan to change the filter or just do a drain and fill. you're looking at 4 to 7 quarts.
If you're under warranty still, go OEM.
For the diffs, any GL-5 75w90. AZ usually carries some M1 gear oil too. Don't have capacities . . . STFA.
