Cv transmission use a special transmission oil specifically designed for cv transmissions. any other type of atf oil will destroy the transmission quickly
contact your service dealer to get the correct oil or if you do not wish to pay audi price there will be other manufacturers that make the oil for audi, mitsubishi, honda etc all of whom use cv transmissions
there are to many people on forums who have used the wrong oil ( atf) in the cv transmissions only to have them fail completely inside 20000 klms

I have changed Audi a6 2.4 v6 2008 multitronic gearbox which oil can I put to the new box?

the service manual or glove box manual covers that.
do not guess, ever. or BOOM a wrecked box.
no country told at all
take my jeep <USA, has MB NAG1 AT box.
it uses ATP +4 but in 2 color codes one for USA and other for Europe
this is because they run different programming here for Amercian's that hate crisp shifting, but guess what they can not be mixed.
the 2 colored ATF codes fluid. and used wrong TCM goes mad.

see how tricky this is. end also voids the warranty doing it wrong.
and how risky this is asking the open world forum what to use?
then getting wrong answer from wrong country.????
I guess your book in the glove box is now LOST>?
why not ask your local dealer this or get the book from them for your exact car. and not guess, or be told wrong, texting the blind.
OURS:
in the USA the Audi dealer here, to get the free 2008 guide
you must tell them the VIN so they don't lie to you, same with all car parts too.
rule 2 do not overfill the box or get doom.
only done hot, in park at idle, not like any engine
if too full it foams up and bearings starve,
USA answer, A6 non quattro.
our engine is 3.2L /trans is below.
Audi's Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is called multitronic.
real name CVT and for sure uses special fluid.
VL300 TO VL381 3 BOXES, USA.
OUR SERVICE MANUAL STATES
we also know this Fluid gets dirty fast and needs service often. on CVT.


ATF for Multitronic 01J ,BONE DRY FILL IS 7.5LITER HERE.
NOTES
Danger of causing damage to the transmission.
The continuously variable automatic transmission multitronic 01J requires a different ATF than shift automatics. Use only ATF available as a replacement part for the multitronic 01J in the continuously variable transmission.
Danger of causing damage to the transmission.
  1. The multitronic 01J and 0AN transmission require different axle oil depending on the condition. Only axle oil for Multitronic which can be obtained as a replacement part must be used in front final drive. Only use gear oil that is assigned to the transmission code, refer to the Parts Catalog.
  2. Mixing gear oil and other oils even in small amounts can damage the transmission components.

What kind of transmission fluid do i need for a 1997 audi a6 quattro?

For automatic transmission: Only ATF with designation ESSO LT 71 141 may be used. Do not use any lubricant additives.
Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF - part number: G 052 162 A2 (1 liter wrapping).
How to check oil in automatic transmission in Audi A6 1997:

At the bottom of the automatic gearbox (tiptronic) you will find 2 threaded plugs on below surface. First (in front of the car) is for emptying, and second is for filling up. Tightening torque is 24 Nm.

1. Requirements for check:
1.1. Vehicle standing on level surface.
1.2. Transmission must not be in fail-safe mode.
1.3. Shift lever in "P" position, parking brake applied.
1.4. Engine idling.
1.5. Air Conditioner and heater OFF.
1.6. ATF temperature must not exceed 104 Fahrenheit degree (40 Celsius degree) at start of test.
1.7. Only ATF with designation ESSO LT 71 141 may be used. Do not use any lubricant additives.
1.8. Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF - part number: G 052 162 A2 (1 liter wrapping)
1.9. An ATF level check when transmission oil temperature is too low results in overfilling, when too high results in underfilling.
2. CAUTION: Too much or too little ATF will affect the operation of the transmission. The ATF level must be checked at regular intervals.
3. The oil level is correct if a slight amount of oil runs out when ATF temperature is between 86 Fahrenheit degree (30 Celsius degree) and 113 F deg (45 C deg) (caused by increase of oil level when heated). For warmer climates, 122 F deg (50 C deg).
4. Hang filled ATF reservoir VAG 1924 as high as possible.
5. Shift lever in "P" position, engine running at idle.
6. Place oil drip pan under transmission oil pan.

8. With ATF temperature between 86 Fahrenheit degree (30 Celsius degree) and 113 F deg (45 C deg), for warmer climates, 122 F deg (50 C deg), a slight amount of oil will flow from filler hole when ATF level is correct.
9. If necessary drain or top off ATF to attain correct oil level. Top ATF with filler hook from VAG 1924 ATF reservoir. Insert VAG 1924 (tool) ATF reservoir filler hook into filler hole and top off until a slight amount of oil flows from filler hole.
NOTE: Fit filler hook into one of the oil deflector cap slots placed on the filler opening.
CAUTION: Do not press filler hook upward or oil deflector cap can be pushed off.
10. Reinstall ATF filler plug. Tightening torque is 24 Nm.
