    RS4 tranny fluid change

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,

    I had a couple of questions about the tranny fluid in the RS4. I've been running Royal Purple Synchromax for a year now and love how smooth and quiet the tranny is. But now that I'm in Canada, I can't find anyone who sells RP and buying it from the US would be a pain (petroleum-based liquid - customs would have a field day!) and I was wondering what other fluids you guys were running or recommended, or should I go back to OEM?

    Thanks

    skip on the RP. use Redline MT90. RP has been known to break down quicker.

    how long have you been running the Red Line? How are the shifts? I've heard great things about their oils, but never got around to trying it out...
