    Valvoline MaxLife ATF now includes CVT applications (as of 2021, May), Date Codes

    I have a fresh set of filters to go along with the fluid. The service is set to happen this coming weekend. Normally I would do a tranny change at the same time as an engine oil change. Tranny fluid change, without a pan-drop, is only about 1/3 of the fluid volume.

    Manual Transmission Recommendation - 64 Chevy 4 speed

    Sounds like a perfect application for a high quality API GL-4 gear oil. JD HyGard (or Low Vis HyGard) is an excellent choice and you don't have to pay the premium of Red Line or Amsoil. Hy-Gard transmission / hydraulic oil I can personally confirm that HyGard LV works exceptionally well in...

    Trickle Charger Comparison

    I have the same charger (B&D) and the pattern you describe sounds familiar. What I think it might be doing is charging until it reaches a peak voltage and then cutting back to a lower rate (trickle). If the voltage drops too low it repeats this cycle but I thought my voltage readings were much...

    Same here, used to get Maxlife at WM for $27/5L. I think I saw it at TSC once but it was close to $35 or $38 for the jug.

    VOA Motul 8100 X-max 0W40

    Any idea why the Boron got cut in half? Formula change or switch to a different add-pack? Looks like the Moly additive has been taken out completely.
