For the rear, you need the Series 2000 75W-90. For the tranny, the ATF. You do not need the additive with the Series 2000 75W-90, and adding it will reduce or eliminate your limited slip capability.

Once you change them out, drive the car easy to a parking lot and do 10 slow figure 8's with the car. Then take it easy for a few hundred miles to make sure the new oil has worked into the clutch packs.

I am running both these products in my car and have been very happy with the results.

AMSOIL in engine crankcase & rear..:yesnod:

But NOT in tranny... Using GM fluid there.

Weren't people saying it could be TOO slipperly for A4's??????

Anyway, that set up is what works for me! :smash:
