    No, actually the fluids have improved since the OE issued the relevant specs 20 years ago.

    Too bad your mental capacity hasn't improved similarly.

    MaxLife® DEX/MERC ATF

    The first ATF for 75,000 miles & beyond

    High-performance seal conditioners maintain and preserve the elasticity of seals to help prevent leaks
    Long-life friction modifiers and premium base oils help improve smooth shifting, eliminate slippage and shudder, prevent clutch wear and improve drivability longer than conventional fluids
    Advanced anti-wear agents provide wear protection for smoother shifts under all driving conditions
    Enhanced cleaning additives help reduce varnish formation and keep the transmission running properly longer
    Engineered with a unique blend of viscosity modifiers and base oils to provide better oil flow at low temperatures and greater film protection at higher temperatures





    http://www.castrol.com/castrol/secti...tentId=7028224


    Recommended for use in vehicles that require:


    Honda, Acura — ATF–Z1 (except in CVTs)
    Toyota, Lexus — Type T, T–III, T–IV
    Nissan, Infiniti — Matic–D, Matic–J
    BMW — LA2634, LT71141
    Mitsubishi — Diamond SP–II, SP–III
    Hyundai — SP–II, SP–III
    Volvo

    BMW LT71141 is the synthetic Esso spec for Audis too, the $15 litre stuff.





    Nice post dummy.

    the 4 speed requires g 052 162 a2 spec fluid

    the 5 speed requires g 052 990 a2 spec fluid and is specific for the 09a trans and differential.

    Ever hear of one spec superceeding another?

    and why hasn't the manufacturer noted it? the 09a is a modern tranmission so their specs are current. the fluids you post are fine for their intended use. just don't think you know more than vag, mb bmw or porche for that matter.

    it's never as complicated as you make it. worse is you think that manufacturer specs are superceded by audisquirt or whatever name you go by today.

    by the way do you have permission to use the charts and graphs you post? copyright issues you know.

    you've been suspended under more names than one can think of, you give advice that voids warranties and think everyone else is stupid. i'll keep pointing it out as long as need be. maybe it's not working out for you.
