w00t! Page 26 of the Haynes manual...

Dexron ATF for the automatic transmission.
SAE 80W or SAE 75W (depending on driving conditions) for manual (non-turbo).
ATF for the BW T5 manual.

ITs great, my shifts are smoother, and theres less noise, also helps that RP as friction modifiers in it to help the synchros out. Tho Im thinking next time Im going to Try the SYNCHROMAX RP in the tranny and see how that does.

Numbers???
