Redline 75w90 vs OEM Burmah SAF AG4

[Ndx]

Hi Guys,

Getting ready to service 2011 Cayenne S
Front and Rear Differential

Redline 75w90 vs OEM Burmah SAF AG4

I have Redline on hand and I can pickup Burmah as well ... just not sure what will be better ...

no LSD just TORSEN

If you already have the redline you should use it, not that there's anything wrong with the oe fluid just redline is so good and so expensive it'd be a shame not to use it.
If you decide to use the burmah I can dispose of the redline for you, foc

Isn't the Burmah SAF GF4 just Castrol SAF-XO (now called Syntrax Long-Life)?

Hi,
Ndx - I would suggest you stay with the OEM product. Castrol's (Burmah) driveline products (mostly developed in Germany) are excellent and durable products

I agree with Doug. Stick with oem. Your Cayenne I'm guessing is a very expensive high end car.

I will pickup some OEM stuff from VW thank you

There is nothing special about the OE fluid or your diff.

Use the Redline or any full synth 75w90.

More than likely yes.

I think most OE Porsche, Audi, VW, SEAT, and Skoda manual transaxle
and diff fluids are all supplied by Castrol.
