Gearbox oil for s3 8L - a quick check what i have is ok?

[jaykay8L]

Dear Audi-Sport Massive,

I have bought the below from Opie, having researched previously, and intend to use in my gearbox and diff.

www.opieoils.co.uk/pv-964-castrol-universal-75w-90-semi-synthetic-gear-oil-formerly-castrol-syntrax-universal-1-litre.aspx?gclid=CNHznMLKnsgCFcFl2wodgdsJWQ

Can i just have a quick thumbs up from those in the know that it'll be ok, or alternatively, what i should use instead. I know there are issues with metal internals being damaged by using the wrong stuff, so need to get this right. My mechanic best mate says to use only oil from Audi / Tps.

Apols if this has been covered elsewhere, but i know things can change, so seek a bit of current thinking.

Thanks.

That should be fine. I'm planning on using this:

As far as I am aware it should be okay if it is 75w90 and is rated for GL-4

TITAN SINTOFLUID FE SAE 75W - This oil is used by the manufacturer i wouldnt try with 90 i think will be "hard" to shift in cold days when temperature will be really low
