Type of Gearbox oil

Hello there,

I am considering getting the gearbox oil changed by a local auto transmission repair specialist.

Just wondering if it's necessary for them to put in genuine Audi gearbox oil - they are familiar with this zf transmission and have worked on this type of box before, but are not (to my knowledge) going to use Audi branded oil for the job?

Is there any difference between the Audi oil and a standard zf auto transmission oil such as they intend to put in?

Thnaks and Regards,

Philip.

Ensure they change the Strainer, Oil, Pan Gasket AND O RING!! - there are plenty of posts about issues if this isn't done!! Check they have done A8's before, and know what they are doing.. Sounds obvious but it will avoid you potential issues later.

i.e. changing 5 litres of oil as thats all that drained out, isn't an oil change..
