You are correct that this transmission is the 012, but if you search through the forums you will find a fair number of people who have had bad experiences with mt90. If it's not recommended for hypoid gears, it shouldn't be used with hypoid gears.

Btw, the original audi factory recommended transmission oil was also a special one off, just like the porsche oil.

It's your transmission, and I'm not gonna tell you to drain it, but does that guy's logic sound right to you?
