I've been doing Mercedes and Range Rover ATF fluid changes myself for years now, no point changing the habit of a lifetime and spending my hard earned on labour charges when I could be spending it on other items.
I'm guessing the best filters will be from Audi, unless anyone can advise otherwise. Does anyone know the specification of the ATF?

I priced up parts for my d2 direct from zf and filter is easiest direct from Audi and cheaper than zf specialists too
Oil could be cheaper in bulk if the same zf fluid will work for more than 1 car as they sell by the drum. Otherwise by the litre from Audi If you can find the plate on the box with zf build details then it's easy to find the info online looking at the zf USA site, or call their uk offices. They were very helpful with info for the d2

I plan to do mine. It was done before by the dealer a year or so ago with the later green fluid (ZF Lifeguard 8). Before that there was blue and before that yellow (what mine had from factory).
The fluid is made by Shell, but not marketed by them, only available through Audi, ZF, BMW etc... Find your transmission, then cross-ref the fluid in the second link. http://www.tsgparts.net/index.php?p=...ge_id=a8_trans http://www.thectsc.com/index.php?p=p...=184&parent=58 I have bought this oil for the diffs./final drive. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-983-fuch...-gear-oil.aspx Here is my service history, they used G060162 Last edited by snapdragon; 31st January 2012 at 09:13 AM.
