It is imperative you use the correct fluid in your Audi tiptronic transmission. Look in your owners manual for the correct fluid. If you do not have an owners manual call your local Audi dealer or better yet drive to one and purchase Audi Pentosin A/T fluid from the dealer. Do not use Dexron III as it is not designed for the Triptonic transmission. A transmission is very expensive to replace so do not take any chances and just buy your fluid from your Audi dealer even though you may pay a little more. That way you are 100% sure you are using the correct fluid.

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.
