DIY Engine, Transmission, Front/Rear Diff, Transfer Case EA839/ZF8HP55

[Need4Built]

Excited to bring some NEVER DONE BEFORE maintenance content.
I’ve seen so many questions on “how to” do the engine, transmission (with pan removal), rear/center diff, and transfer case fluids.

This covers all those fluids with all specifications from ALLDATA for:
EA839/ZF8HP55 - B9/B9.5 S4/S5/SQ5 (RS5)

Don’t pay the dealer big bucks, don’t pay some Joe Shmo. Do it yourself properly. After you see the fluid in my car you’ll want to do your asap!!!

Hey, thanks for posting and the YT vid. I'm due for an oil change and will look at 5w-40. Maybe I missed it in the video but what are the advantages of going with the 5w-40 over the 0w-20. Just curious...

Lubrication purposes. There are a few video's on youtube about oil viscosity I would recommend watching.

Yeah, did that before asking. Actually what I found sounded like 0w-20 was the better viscosity, especially if you have colder weather. Just curious but don't need mean to take up your time. Thanks,

I know this post is a bit old but has good info. I was wondering if you changed the fill/drain plugs and if so have part numbers? or are they reusable?
