Do not chane to a different type of oil unless recommended by Hurth. The
clutches and bearings are designed to use a certian type of lubricant. Using
the wrong stuff can cause the bearings and or clutches to fail prematurely.

Slips Out of Gear
Not directly related to A4’s, but about transmissions. My Perkins diesel has a
Hurth (HBW-50 -2R) transmission, and the PO recommended using type A automatic
transmission fluid. That’s what I have been using, but this discussion has
listed motorcycle oil for the transmissions in A4’s. Am I using the proper
fluid? - everything seems to be running fine.
