Hot Shot ULV

[67miata]

There has been several that posted additive packages for several ULV fluids. Has anyone done an oil analysis of Hot Shot ULV for the breakdown of their additive package?
I know there is at least one transmission rebuilder exclusively using this fluid, but would like to know more about its makeup before committing.

A transmission rebuilder exclusively using it doesn't really mean much, its no different than many shops exclusively using BG products.

Interestingly enough hotshots FR3 oil additive which is the same technology they claim to use in this ATF makes a bunch of bold claims such as 4.3% HP increase, 5% fuel economy increase, but I see no documented proof of this and im not a big fan of companies making such bold claims without documented proof, if someone has the proof of these claims please provide it.

In my opinion I see no realistic benefit of running this vs running Valvoline or any other brand.

"Up to", the standard obfuscation modifier.

Even so those numbers are whack. No fluid does anything like that when in a transmission. Often these sort of claims are made on some isolated test under very specific conditions and is utterly unrelated to everyday use in an actual device.

In other words, a case of testing and analysis malfeasance.
