S3 8P Gearbox Oil Advise

[johal87]

Looking to revamp an S3 I just brought, so any advise on changing the oil and what oil is best for the gearbox would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I will be using OEM fluid, probably the same stuff in other cheaper 'brands' but I like to play it safe lol.

Also, while its in the air do the diff oil/haldex oil(and filter)

I heard there's no filter to change on the 8P? I was going to let Audi do the haldex change as its about 69?

There is, my brother just done mine (8P S3 2007). £69 isn't bad. Do the diff as well.

I've always found Motul Gear 300 75w-90 to be very good, albeit in other applications. Had a Nissan S15 that wasn't feeling too good, put this in and it felt like a new gearbox!
