Are some of you guys looking at transmisson temps mistakenly with those dash guages?

I'm running Magnetec 5w30 in my 2018 2.3 eco. I would like the warm and fuzzies of a thicker oil but am waiting for api sp oils in a 0w40 for lspi and timing issues. Wish castrol made a 10w40 Magentec her win the states. No uoa but at 5-6k the oil comes out water thin and may have the...

I know gm factory remanufactured 4l80e's run about $4k. Installed with 3/36 warranty. Not much of a warranty if dealer doesn't install it. The 4l80e would have my vote for one of the best tranny's ever made.

I had an oil pump bypass stick open resulting in spun cam bearing. Oil was grey but uoa didnt show much.

IMO I doubt seriously if an end user would be able to discern the the difference. Just to many variables. Now in controlled lab setting it would be possible measure the slight variation in temps.

A friend has had a commercial shop open for 10+ years with same Sch40 pvc lines the whole time without issue. Still not sure if I would use them.

Previoosly being servicedf this is probably the reason why the tranny is still running well. I have always used Maxlife in my vehicles and it's done very well. I did use Castrol transmax synthetic for drain and fill at 4k miles on my new Explorer to start getting that garbage already turning...

Castrol Magnetec is what I opted for in my new Eco boost Explorer. Or any SN+ rated oil will be fine. Just make sure it's the "updated" SN+ and not just SN. SN+ being formulated to help protect the newer DI turbos better.

I think you have a winner with the 0w-40! I would continue to use it. You have evidence to back up its performance.

Ur right, I dont know what happend? Was in the Toyota 0w40 thread and my post showed up in this thread which I never viewed. What the heck BITOG. Carry on!

I think you have a winner with the 0w-40! I would continue to use it. You have evidence to back up its performance. Dont worry about the other thread noise. Just an eco warrior thinner is better remnant.

Amazing how far engines have come. I have an engine(2.3) in my explorer only a little bigger and it has 4times the power. Sounds like a cool project!

Shudder issues caused by super thin viscosity? Is this the transmisson Mobil just developed a new fluid for?

Buy an orange car? Mustang's are nice.

Just finished 2nd apllocation after a long road trip on new silver Explorer. I have several really good base coats down figured I would try the spray as u dry method and was unimpressed with those results. I highly recomend it so far using the "base coat method" But time will tell. I...
