Default Tiptronic Advice Please!
I recently bought a '98 A4 Avant 2.8 TIP. I haven't had an automatic transmission in probably 25 years. I always used Redline trans lubricant in my other Audis, Alfas and SAABs with excellent results. Should I stick with Redline ATF, or are there better options out there?

Thanks...
