Comparison of Amsoil ATF and SPIII both with 25k miles. The SPIII was the factory installed fluid. The pan was dropped/cleaned and refilled with SPIII for another 15k miles before another pan drop and flush with Amsoil. Along with the pan drop and flush I added a magnafine that was replaced at 15k miles of the amsoil run. The magnafine was added due to the lack of a replacement transmission filter until July 2008 when they finally made them available. The filter has not been replaced but there is a replacement on the shelf for the next pan drop.
