Thanks for this. I read the link to better understand the terms of their warranty.

At your vehicle mileage (75,000 max, any more than that and there is no warranty applicable...) they limit the warranty coverage to $500. They don't cover any faults that show up in the first 500 miles after the flush, they call that the grace period. And you have to keep flushing it with them every 30,000 miles to keep the warranty active. That is quite a restrictive service warranty.

Good luck, hope it works out for you.

Since the consensus on the Castrol was it is a gamble, I returned it.

How about Bilstein Febi Automatic Transmission Fluid (Equivalent to Esso LT71141 & ATF1)?

Not looking it up BUT if memory recalls, the Bil-Febi is a direct 71141 fluid..
You can always use the VW, JAG, fluid - just need to find the part #

Glad to see castrol import performing so well in your X. I might do a third drain and fill before winter, although everything is working just fine on a two drain and fill right now.

Changed mine at 100k miles, at 170k now. Will be doing another double drain/fill and filter soon.
