AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

["Clough, Sam" <SClough@irps.atl.invesco.com>]

I have heard a complaint or too about slush boxes in A6s and how they might
not be, shall we say, as bulletproof as the rest of the drivetrain.  We
recently purchased a 95Q with 37k on it with a slush box.  It's the wife's
daily driver, had it been mine we would have hunted down an S6, but that's
another story.  What transmission fluid are other auto owners running?  I
would assume that synthetic would be best, but which brands do you run and
where do you get it?  I would consider Redline, but also Mobil 1 if anyone
is running it and has good experiences with it.  I have changed the oil in
the car over to fully synthetic Mobil 1.  Does this car have a drain plug to
change Transmission fluid, or do you have to drop the pan?  Please bear with
me as I've changed manual transmissions before, but never an auto.  If there
is anything else I should know about changing the fluid that is specific to
an Audi automatic with Quattro, I would appreciate that also.  (not that an
Audi would have any quirks!)

TIA,
Samuel
