Default What Red Line ATF to use?

Hey guys, this is for the guys who use Red Line ATF. Ive been looking for a new ATF to use. My two choices are Redline or Amsoil. I was looking at the Red Line ATF's and there a couple of them. There's the D6 which is used where Dextron VI is used. Theres D4 where Detron III is used and then theres Full Syn ATF and Racing ATF. Which one should I use in my 2002 A4? I have a 3600 stall Yank and a trans cooler and I go to the track (drag, 1/8 & 1/4mi) every couple of weeks. Car is mostly a weekend driver. Thnx guys.

Default Red Line Hi Temp ATF

I have had great success with Red Line's Hi Temp Synthetic AFT in my '87 Grand National , 2500 Suburban 454 4x4 (modified stall converter) and the Allison World 6 spd in my 31,000 GVWR Cummins diesel motorcoach. I have 'felt' a more positive engagement and tranny temps are down on the Allison. I made the choice after talking to Dave Granquist of Red Line. Happy.
