What gear box oil do i need to use on my audi a3 1.6 1998?

If it is manual transmission, then its 75W90 synthetic oil. If its automatic, vw recommend their own LONGLIFE oil, but for topping up purposes you can use any ATF with the dersignation DEXRON 3. If you are replacing the oil , then for the manual transmission you need 2 litres, if you are replacing the automatic transmission , then you can use DEXRON 3 and you will need 3 liters.
