When using synthetic fluid do you need to add limited slip additive to A4 ???

Hi there,
As long as you are using a Dexron 3 designation, NO fluid modifier is needed.
Besttoyou, c4c5 :crazy:

Use Amsoil Synthetic ATF and you will be all :D :D :D :D :D
Take 12 quarts,and have it pumped in. Get it ALL out. :smash:
Limited slip is rear end lingo,not transmission. :nonod:

The limited slip addative is recommended for many trasmissions (albeit usually manuals). IIRC, it aids in synchro mesh. Probably where the question comes form :)

I thought the limited slip additive was for the carrier, not the automatic transmission?
