    Transmission Fluid Question

    Hi Guys,

    Just wondering what the best fluid would be for the Euro 6 speed tranny ?
    I have read all sorts of information but damn there's so much fluff out there on the subject.

    I'm planning on doing a full fluid service on mine and the tranny is the last piece of this puzzle.

    Thanks to all.

    I've been using Redline D4 ATF pretty much exclusively in the ZF and Getrag M3 transmissions. Works well, no complaints.

    I had a chance to get under my car the other day as I had to perform the oil service ( after sorting out the fuel issue) and I confirmed that it has the orange sticker indicating ATF.
    The general consensus regarding the redline product has been good so i think I'll use the D4.

    I also have the diff oil flush, coolant flush and the brake fluid flush to do.
    I have all the fluids ready except the tranny fluid, which I will order soon.

    This should make the car nice and happy (smiley face)[ where are the emogies here ??]
