the Esso LT71141 was not as easily available, at least not in my local store. it was just one of those days I had nothing to do and decided to do a service, quick easy parts were easily availble.

Esso LT71141 is the specified fluid for my Audi S8. The Audi guys have done tons of research. Mobil1 and Valvoline Maxlife atf meet the specs. I 've used both in my Audis with no issues.
