I have only used the Audi/VW fluids, but has anyone had luck using other forms of hydraulic fluid/oil on this system?
I use universal ATF or auto transmisison fluid on my USDM vehicles, but on my Honda, only the Honda stuff, as it's picky, and I've been told they fail if you don't use the Honda fluid.
I'd also like to "upgrade" to a full synthetic fluid, but not if it's going to start leaking. (I have zero leaks now, and only just 75,000 miles on my 2001 S8.)
I plan on replacing all the hose clamps too, as I just noticed that they are loose, and have minimal leaks, just like my first D2 A8 did. (And those leaks stopped when I replaced the crimp type clamps with screw type clamps.)
