I have a '99 v6 accord with over 125k miles on the odometer. In addition, I have towed this vehicle, with all four wheel down, behind a motorhome for an additional 40k miles for a total of over 160k miles. (Many of these miles were in the southwest in August at temps over 100F and speeds over...

I put Redline ATF in my 2001 Town&Country minivan about 50,000 miles ago. It has run flawlessly since, although it may have run flawlessly with something else as well. I put the Redline in because the tranny in this vehicle is a little notorious for early failures, and this minivan is loaded and...

Gary- Why would there be increased throttling losses at anything other than W.O.T.? For any given operating condition, (RPM and HP) a gasoline engine requires a certain amount of restriction in the intake system to keep the fuel/air mixture correct and the power output limited to what the...

So number 3) above may actually have an effect, if you are spending a significant amount of time at W.O.T., you might be able to improve your mileage with a clean or high performance air filter.

thieu- I know exactly how you feel, I hear people saying that a clean or high performance air filter will improve your mileage, and yet when I think about how a modern fuel injected engine works, I cannot for the life of me figure out why, especially since the very next thing in an intake...

Kestas, you bring up an issue that I cannot for the life of me figure out - how does a dirty air filter reduce the mileage of a modern engine? Particularly considering that the very next thing in the intake system is a throttle plate which (except at W.O.T.) INTENTIONALLY restricts the airflow...

It shifts well and has thrown no codes for the transmission at all. I have only serviced the transmission once at about 50k miles when I switched to the Redline and I will probably do it again soon since I have just reached 100k miles. This transmission is an "adaptive" transmission that...

I have been running Redline's Chrysler ATF in my 2001 Town and Country AWD van for the last 50,000 miles. I am currently at 100,000 miles and have no transmission problems at all. I don't have any UOAs or other data to share with you, but I can tell you that my transmission is still running...
