T3 Fuilds - Oil - Lube

2013 TDI.

I see plenty of info on T1/T2 stuff here but can't seem to utilize my Googlefu for the T3.

I use Liqui Moly's engine oil and I prefer to keep the same stuff front to rear. Getting ready to perform a much needed flush on just about everything.

Liqui-Moly shows this:

Front & Rear Axle: HIGH PERFORMANCE GEAR OIL (GL4+) SAE 75W-90 4433
Steering: CENTRAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL 9524
Transmission: TOP TEC ATF 1800 9704
Brake Fluid: BRAKE FLUID SL6 DOT 4 5984

Nothing listed for the transmission but I found some kits on idparts/blua et al.

Which is interesting as some data I've found shows the rear diff takes a different lube from the front.

I'm an Amsoil dealer but they list limited items for the Treg.

Axle: https://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/gear-lube/75w-90-long-life-synthetic-gear-lube/?code=FGRQT-EA

But suggests it's only for the front.

What about a Mobil 75/90 GL4?

Anyone care to chime in on what they use for their T3 on any of this? Where do you find is the best place to buy this kind of stuff?

Any links here I'm missing that covers T3 maintenance on stuff like this?

Why can I not edit a post?????

I meant I don't see anything on LM's site for the Tcase.

I did find this in the forums:

1) Transmission oil G 055 540 A2 - it seems a wet fill (i.e. remove transmission oil sump and refill) is about 7-8 litres and a dry fill (i.e. complete refresh) is about 12 litres. To be on the safe side I have ordered 13 litres and will be doing this in the next 4-6 weeks.
2) Transmission Strainer - don't have the part number right now. Will update later.
3) Transmission sump gasket - don't have the part number right now. Will update later.
4) Transmission drain plug washer 0C8321181 - apparently the washer is single use.
5) Transmission drain plug WHT005510 - not entirely sure if this is single use.
6) Transfer case G 055 515 A2 - need 850ml but they come in 1 litres containers.
7) Rear diff oil G 052 145 S2 - capacity is more than a litre so recommend getting 2 litres.
8) Rear diff seal plug 0AA409057 - not saying these are single use but in case if someone wants to change.
9) Front diff oil G 052 196 A2 - capacity is more than a litre so recommend getting 2 litres.
10) Rear diff seal plug 0AA409057 - not saying these are single use but in case if someone wants to change.

You only get 30 minutes once started on a post, thereafter no edit is possible.


It's to stop trolls changing their posts but it can be jolly annoying when typing up a long and detailed post so do that elsewhere and then copy and paste to here.

Hey.. now I can. I wonder if I needed to have more than 10 posts to do so?

I've run forums and community sites for almost 20 years.. never ever have I killed the edit function or limited it.. never once has it become a problem. Having said that...this isn't my website and 30 minutes is good.
