[V8] Manual Trans oil.

[qshipq at aol.com]

 PROBLEM - v8 Audi Synchros are Brass.  The sulfer content specified in GL-5 eats brass.  More specifically, the resultant presence of sulfer oxide will corrode and fatigue the Brass Syncros.  This thread goes back almost 15 years...  Ck the archives, even recently.  GL-4 spec MT-90 or MTL Redline or G50 Audi for Audi Manual transmissions, even Redline specifies that in the same website.  The v8 is an expensive manual trans to reinvent the lubrication of choice.

This the one I am looking at. Specifically states that it has reduced wear for 
copper.
