[s-cars] Internal fluids - again

[TM]

Gary-
Funny that you mention difficulty shifting in cold weather, because my
car has MT90 in the trans and it shifts just fine. OTOH, the A4 with the
factory G50 fill is really notchy and hesitant in 28-35F degree weather,
making me shift very slowly and deliberately for 2nd and 3rd gear.

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.

Hi all
With this colder weather it is time to get to my gear fluids Anybody use
BG products in their Audi's? I seem to remember a post flaunting BG
synchroshift for our transmissions Problem is the BG people dont
recommend 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 anybody please confirm:
Trans- GL-4 ONLY, 75-90wt, 2.9liters - How important is the ONLY? Diff -
GL-5, 90wt, 0.8liter. Thanks Aaron
