I have a 2012 Ford Focus with the 6 speed automatic DCT. Obviously, it comes pre-filled with Ford's own DCT fluid. I was curious to know more about the formulation. What base stock is used What additives make this unique to other transmission fluids I'm assuming this is a dry clutch setup...

I'm very curious about the origins of Amsoil's newly revised EAO oil filters. The newly released EAO17 suggest that it's built by Champion Labs, however, there is no listing on Champion's site suggesting this. Take a look at the pictures I took comparing both filters. The print on the top of...

Here is a sample from a friends truck I change the oil in once a year with Amsoil 0W-30 SSO (now AZO is in it). Since this fill was in his truck for just shy of 13 months and 12,040 miles I decided to take a sample when I drained it. Not to bad for a high mileage engine of 167,000. He drives 90%...

I just received this report from a fellow GT500 owner who was using Red Line 5W-50 for 2,118 miles. The car has just over 10,000 total miles. Wear numbers look to be acceptable, but look at how low TBN is, and how high oxidation is. Did the base stock oxidization increase viscosity and make it...

Hello all, Need some assistance for those in the know. I've received some information from AMSOIL about their nano fiber filters, but I don't know how to change it to know how much flow (CFM) the filter is capable of at 28" H2O. Can anyone here perform this conversion? Quote: We do not have...

Here's the back story. Ford issued a TSB on my transmission (Tremec 3650 5 speed manual) about cold weather grinding, so I took it in and had it rebuilt by the local dealer (2450.00 bill, under warranty). The rebuilt transmission shifts much better now. Another TSB was released (prior to the...

This may be a report, but WOW! Just WOW! How could someone do this to a Lamborghini?

This is a debate topic why Ford felt the need to require a 75W-140 synthetic gear oil in the (2008 Mustang) 8.8" rear diff. The car will never tow anything, obviously, and it's only 300 RWHP. Previous cars I've owned with more power only required 75W-90, so why the increase? Here are my...

Last week I sent an email to Tremec transmissions to inquire about using Red Line D4 ATF in my T3650 5 speed transmission in my 2008 Mustang GT. This was his reply "We recommend the Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF. Some of the Redline products use additives that can attack the blocker ring on the...

Just had my car returned from the dealer as they rebuilt the transmission (Tremec 3650) due to faulty parts. The car was grinding 2-3 shifts and sometimes 3-4 shifts in cold weather. It also would refuse to shift under heavy acceleration. They replaced Snap Ring 1-2 Synchro and Blocker Ring...

Yesterday was the good ol' cam swap in my Gen 3 LS1 V8, but the discovery wasn't pleasing at all. Under the valve covers all grayish metal was covered by a black sludge and looked like gloss black powder coat. I wasn't to worried at this time, but when we removed the front timing chain covered I...

I have about 2K miles left on this 5K run and thought the LS1 could use some cleaning. So, should I have waited until the 5K was up, drain the GC, then refill with dino Castrol and add Auto-Rx? I'm just a worry wart about things sometimes and thought the guru here could give me some insight.

Well, as the title says I am considering adding Auto-rx to my T56 6 speed transmission in my 99 Trans Am. Am I wasting my time or could my transmission with 77K miles benefit from this? The standard fill is Dexron III 4 qts and I use dino dex non syn only. I was thinking maybe it might smooth up...
