I've been using Mobil 1 for about 4 years now and like the idea of using a synthetic product. When I made the initial switch to M1 I swear the thing started to shift more smoothly. Perhaps it was just the change that did it and any product would have made an improvement. According to the manual...

I know I'm overthinking it!

Tech support at ZF sent me this document and said that the 4HP22/24 use the same fluid regardless of the vehicle manufacturer. https://www.zf.com/global/media/en_zf/lubricantslists/TE-ML_11.pdf So I guess I shuld be safe to use the VW stuff. I wonder what is the difference between group 11A...

I'm hoping that the G 052 162 A2 Automatic Transmission Fluid is really Pentosin ATF 1. I'd like to know more about it (the Genuine VW Product). I agree with you about the Dex III being cheap, but I'd really, really like to use the VW stuff if I can. I need more info.

The ATF I just mentioned is suitable for use in 1992-1994 Audi V8 Quattros, which have a ZF 4HP24A automatic transmission. My Discovery has a ZF 4HP24. I think...

I was comparing the TDS for Lucas 0W-40 and 5W-40. The following data does not make sense to me. Shoulden't the 0W-40 have the lower viscosity at 40 C? LUCAS SYNTHETIC 0W-40 Viscosity @ 40 C cSt 84.0 Viscosity @ 100 C cSt 14.1 VI 173 LUCAS SYNTHETIC 5W-40 Viscosity @ 40 C cSt 71...

G 052 182 A2 is the correct VW/AUDI PN. I guess the fact that the DSG has wet clutches answers my question. I'll have to do some more reading on how the DSG works. Thanks for the welcome!

I recently changed the DSG fluid in my 2010 Audi A3 Quattro. What exactly is DSG fluid? I know the DSG is essentially a manual transmission. What functions does the DSG fluid have to perform above and beyond those of standard gear oil?
