Hello house, i just got an audi a4 2001/2002 1.8L model but im trying to figure out some things with the engine as i am not too sure what canister this is.. i am thinking maybe its the power steering fluid or auto gearbox fluid..if it is the power steering fluid, where is the gearbox fluid canister or are they the same thing?

Siena: Pardon my ignorance  , then how does the auto transmission get lubricated from friction? |
| Re: Who Can Tell Me What Fluid Canister This Is For Audi A4 by Nobody: 12:43pm On Jan 16, 2015 |
redcliff: By an internal oil pump. Oil is held in the oil pan. Your engine is lubricated by oil, but you don't pour oil into a remote canister, do you? |

Siena: Then i am asking if the oil needs to be changed and if it can be checked... i dont want to make the same mistake i made when i had my vw where i did not know there was an oil for the manual gearbox and i was using it like that until someone told me and also my brake fuild canister was empty and i was also using it like that and it damaged my brake system.. |

redcliff: Sorry bro, ur car has one of those Audi sealed transmission system. There is no dipstick to check ur tranny oil level. Audi claims the oil inside will last for the entire life of the car, but it or adviced to change after about 100,000 miles. |
| Re: Who Can Tell Me What Fluid Canister This Is For Audi A4 by redcliff: 3:41pm On Jan 16, 2015 |
abatically: Okay that makes sense now...is there any specific kind of oil that's needed in case I might consider it in the future... |

Redcliff You need to lay hands on the owner's manual of your car. Someone like Siena may be able to help you if you provide the exact model and year. I think i have a link where i can help you check. You need to have a reference material to help you take good care of this apparently nice car. |

skyfall: I have the manual..i bought it for my mother i wont be the one using it..but i just want to know these things then i tell her what to do to keep it good..dasall. |

redcliff: You don't have a problem then. Just take your time and read it. Everything you need to know as an end-user is there. |

skyfall: Apparently the manual is not in english and the car is not within my reach anymore but i need to give the user the clear guide on the right things to do as regarding maintenance.. so you have an idea of the right power steering oil specification for the car? |
| Re: Who Can Tell Me What Fluid Canister This Is For Audi A4 by redcliff: 2:09pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
abatically: Hello abatically, do you know the right power steering fluid speicification i should use for this car? The manual is not within mt reach at the moment and its not in english also... |

redcliff: Audi: G004 fluid. Non-Audi: CHF-11S. Nothing else will do, there is no substitute. |
| Re: Who Can Tell Me What Fluid Canister This Is For Audi A4 by redcliff: 3:02pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
Siena: Thanks alot.. finally what's the engine oil specification? |
| Re: Who Can Tell Me What Fluid Canister This Is For Audi A4 by Nobody: 3:34pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
redcliff: For the 1.8T, 5W-30. This is extremely with Audi's turbocharged 4, the 1.8T is very sensitive to oil grade, and sludge-prone. Even topping up with mineral oil could spell death for your engine. |
