Euro-oils for the drivetrain

[Jukka Majanen]

DeWitt Hi

Great thanks to You for your job, if there is Redline in Sweden, 
it can be found here too, that´s good to know. I´ll ask that Lubricare.

I´ve seen Redline tranny oil reports on 20 v list. Some people were 
impressed, some didn´t like it. If I remember it correctly, they
complained it´s behavior under very cold circumstances?

Also a possibility is to use oe Audi fluid as Wylie suggested, but
maybe I´ll have a test this time and try this Shell stuff. I´ll report
later on the list how it worked. ( this isn´t a comparison test,
that oe fluid is 9 yrs old ;)


thank You and regards
j-pm  ´91 CQ
