thanks, that's an interesting video, but the fact is there is still a large viscosity difference between the two, I can't help but think its a use Mercon v because we don't want to make Mercon anymore kind of recommendation from ford.

E4OD, there are many using the Mercon V but also there are many complaints about shifting problems and stuttering. I was planning on something like Amsoil signature series ATF 7.5 cst@100, 38.5 cst@40 or Amsoil torque drive 7.6 cst@100, 37.1 cst@40. Those, however, come out more along the lines...

so I know this is old but I am not finding this topic covered with my specific questions answered, Ford used to say never to run Mercon V in a Mercon equipped transmission then one day poof it was backward compatible which is against the tsb from before. With the trend towards lighter fluids, I...

my guess is its on the low end like 2.9, but what the heck is the secret about it everyone else is so forthcoming, hths isn't some secret mix why such a big deal on disclosure, was hoping someone had gotten a real answer other then its in the j spec chart range or it exceeds standards bull crap.

I have been searching and unable to find, just wondering if we have HTHS for the new Pennzoil platinum and ultra platinum in 5w30 and 10w30, not sure why they make something like this so top secret.

when I changed the "lifetime" fluid in my aisin 5spd auto at 50K it did not look to be a lifetime fluid it was more dirty than I cared to see, I didn't get a UOA. But come on what service life are we talking, I think the gravitation to lifetime fill transmission fluid is more they are sick of...

definitely a Love/Hate on the Amsoil here. I like it but i like Mobil and Sopus and many more try it and see, it isn't going to make them explode, run it do a UOA and decide.

my 230k mile subaru likes PYB 10w30 so I vote PHM

did maintenance oil change on Subaru Legacy 4eat 4 qts Amsoil signature series atf, Subaru OUtback 4eat 4 qts Amsoil signature series atf and a new OEM Subaru spin on filter, changed both subies today

I understand that basically any rated oil is good. But when I acquire a new to me used vehicle first thing I do is decide what oil i'm going to run and change it right off. I don't know whats in there lol. I know it would be fine, but that's why i'm on this forum, if any oil was adequate then I...

I own a set of these Continentals, they are fantastic. I would not hesitate in picking them up, and yes I feel the quality is congruent with the true contact How would I know. I just happen to own a set of both. My legacy is shod with them (true contacts). When I bought tires for my outback...
