[s-cars] Internal fluids - again

[Martin, Gary G]

I agree, that is strange. I can't explain it. I'm sure lots of others are
using MT90 also, but I don't hear a lot of me too, concerning shifting.

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
