I have a 2.0TDI 170BHP quattro 2008 with a 6 speed manual.
The reason I start considering to change the oil is because when the car is cold the 1st gear is a bit stiff. I own the car since new so it has never been that way.
Any help will be much appreciated .
Thanks
Hi,

I would go with a straight 75W for your gearbox, particularly the sintofluid FE75W

Pardon Our Interruption

You need a 75w-90 GL5 oil for the diff

Pardon Our Interruption

The Millers CRX NT, Motul Gear 300, Red Line 75w-90NS, Amsoil Severe Gear and Gulf Competition are ideal as top end options. The Millers TRX Synthetic/EE Nanodrive, Mobil SHC, Castrol Syntrax Universal Plus and Valvoline Synpower TDL are good, but a step down from the top oils. Fuchs Gear Syn, Motul Motylgear, Millers TRX Semi and Castrol Universal are good, cheaper options.

Off the top of my head its around 3 litres for the gearbox and 1 litre for the differential.

Regards

Jack
