[s-cars] Internal fluids - again

[Martin, Gary G]

I used Redline MT90 in my S4 tranny, and was experiencing stiff shifting for
the first few minutes in cold weather. It got to be quite annoying, so I
switched to BG synchoshift and have no more problems. These are both GL4
spec, and I think that IS an important point, although I'll let some oil
expert detail why.  Why did BG recommend against it? With tranny warmed up,
I'd say both shift equally smooth.

it... They say use their Ultra Guard product which is a 75-90 GL-5 rated
synthetic.  They also say it can be used in GL-4 applications. .... Can
