I did a complete fluid exchange using 15qts in my 2013 GMC Acadia (spec: DEXRON VI) currently at 215,000 miles The last transmission flush was done at 190,000 with Valvoline Dex 6 specific fluid using a BG flush machine. This is the first time I’m not using a Dex specific oil but since...

whenever I see DEX 6 or Toyota World Standard spec on a bottle, the rest of the marketing label becomes useless to me. I only look at the spec. I ended up buying over 40qts of this juice. Will use it in everything that matches the spec. 👍🏼

According to the spec sheet, this works in practically every automatic gearbox known to man. 🤭😆 Typical marketing BS, hybrid sticker on it doesn’t mean anything. I’m gonna grab an oil change worth tomorrow.

Sounds like Susan has been sniffing used oil samples too much and it’s getting to her head. 🤦🏻‍♂️ and I quote: “Additive levels vary A LOT, even then we test the the same blend from the same manufacturer.” 👀🧐🤨 Is it just me or…. Additive levels should NOT vary A LOT when retesting the same...

I wonder what’s causing iron to randomly double. 🤔

this oil is currently on RollBack at ChinaMart for $23.37 I wonder if they’ll price match AAP receipt and allow me to get a different viscosity 🤔😜😈

🤔 How is NAPA different? They sell the same overpriced stuff to make a profit like everyone else.

Same. I jumped into this thread thinking it’s the good stuff for $22. I don’t want the blend. I recently bought Pro-DS on rollback for $25. It’s a better oil.

It’s not the best deal but for those who like Valvoline Restore and Protect and want to support them by making a purchase, it’s definitely worth picking up a jug.

The transmission in these cars shifts very smoothly but that’s right where the positives STOP. 😒😑🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Yes they destroy the transmission fluid very quickly and need more frequent service in order to live a long and happy life.

Anybody get their AAP rebate $15 gift card yet? There’s no way to track it, so I’m just sitting in the dark for 6-8 weeks. 😒😑

It’s on clearance because I didn’t even know this oil existed. AAP had it in the back, with the other boutique oils, so most people who came in looking for 0w20 just bought the regular plain Jane cocktail. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I scooped up 6 jugs from a local store. Seeing this used oil analysis has me...

Last flush done at 190,000 miles. Now 205k.

The gearbox holds 9.5qts. Doing a single spill & fill isn’t enough. All’s you did was cut your UOA numbers in half…. Gearbox oil overall is still contaminated. 🤦🏻‍♂️ A proper cooler line fluid exchange is the way to go. I usually run 4 gallons (12qts) thru mine. It insures 99% of the oil fluid...

These engines will live a long and happy life with 3,000 mile intervals. My 2013 Acadia now has over 200,000 miles and doesn’t burn ANY oil in 3k mile intervals. 💪🏼 It does short trips all day, every day, shuttling the kids around. Extreme service in my book.

Guess the OP didn’t pay for TBN, even with the extended interval. 🫣

Flipped thru the page you provided. That’s just basic info from Fram. Nowhere do I see it mention the Fram Force model in the article. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did a similar thing but with Mobil 1 0w20 & 0w40 to make a custom 0w30 blend. Lab results showed it to me a solid mix. 👌🏽

All my used oil analysis of Havoline ProDS showed plenty of Moly. This one shows only 60ppm, which is low. It’s usually in the buck thirty’s. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Further testing is needed.
