Fudge_Brownie Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I bet if you hit up an audi forum, you can find out what they are selling that might just be rebranded. Or a place you an order it for less.Maybe an audi owner here knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelsup Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I don't have an Audi but was looking them up, I was speechless, I found that tidbit out on an Audi enthusiast forum. I just can't believe a company would have the nuts to charge a grand for freaking tranny fluid!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmendoza Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I also found that, according to their own data sheet, Mobil 3309 also meets the requirements of that fluid (G-055-025-A2). Look here.I would be pissed if I owned an Audi and found out that I have been paying 50 bucks a quart for something I can buy for 6 or 7 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaking dealers!!! This is why they get such a bad name, oh well gives indies a chance to make a buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorqueSteer Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I used to order Pentosin products through Advance Auto Parts, the price difference between the Pentosin and same rebranded Audi product is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
