Did Audi change the gear oil spec for the manual transmission cars between the B8 & B8.5?
Reason I ask is because I've had one of each and one thing that I noticed on the B8.5 car is that the transmission shifts very smoothly when the transmission is cold, even in sub-zero temperatures. In my B8 car, it was always a bit clunky (even when the car was new), so I swapped out the factory fill for some Redline fluid and that definitely helped. On the B8.5 car, I'm still on the factory fill and it's been smooth as butter even in the coldest weather, right from the moment I start up the car and start driving it.
So my thought was that maybe the oil spec changed on the B8.5 cars. Or if not, maybe the synchronizers are improved? Does anyone know?
