From a admin at another board I visit from time to time but never ask any questions anymore.

Don't use synthetic. It may be too slick, and cause excessive slip in the clutches and bands.

[Mr Nice]

Are these people who use synthetic ATF racing their car or driving it in an abusive way ??

 

[DINO_NO]

No kidding

Tell him he can continue to do it until he needs glasses.

 

[Quest]

Kindly ask him who/where/which shop or mech he goes to or obtained the info from, and then post it here to share (so that we can avoid them like a plague).

Q.

These guys sometimes also recommend drilled 170 degree thermostats, engine restorer, K&N air filters, and lucas oil additive.

These guys are not out to get the most life from there engines/transmissions.

I don't want to hear this kind of stuff. My 175k miles 850 Turbo Volvo has Red Line D4 and I don't want it to fail now that I have the straight scoop. If you don't know of such things than they can't happen to your car, right?

 

[Gary Allan]

Exactly, Lonnie. Just a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Add that to the presumption of "full scope" wisdom ..and you've got a very dangerous combination.

Ignorance is truly bliss if it is pure enough. Taint it ..and it turns toxic.

They probably also say if you have never changed the ATF fluid and you car has over 100K do not change it, as fresh ATF will cause the transmission to fail.

Probably should call Amsoil, Redline, Mobil; they probably haven't thought of this....

 

[Steelhead]

obviously this admin? owns a high volume (wink wink) auto transmission rebuild shop

 

[Greaser]

OH-OH.. been doing yearly drain & fills with Mobil 1 ATF on my Jeep Cherokee since 99 when I got it new...has 222,000km on her now ,when is my transmission going to start slipping?

That is what I hear when I talk to the "red neck Ford F-150 crowd".
"These guys sometimes also recommend drilled 170 degree thermostats, engine restorer, K&N air filters, and lucas oil additive."
Word for word.
I bet they used optima batteries too.

Why am I not a millionaire

Way too many out there in better financial shape ...obviously by accident. Sometimes I have to grant concession to the elitists/aristocrats. The bourgeoisie ..what good does money do them anyway
