I used to own 1997 A4. If you can afford an Audi,surely you can afford the fluids from the dealers? My advice, don't skimp when it comes down to your super sensitive Audi Trans. You won't be changing the fluid often, so why don't you just do it right? I just don't understand people who own BMW,MB,Audi,Porsche and complain that they couldn't find the specific fluids.How the dealer will charge them up the yinyang for the service. Duh!Didn't you know that you gotta open your wallet wide after you bought a premium car? If you can't afford it,get a honda or a toyota. Quite whining and bite the bullet!
