Well I thought I had 6qts of ATF +3 for my 99 Cirrus.
After i got the pan off, filter swapped and everything torqued back on.....
I dig into my oil shelf and bring out 6 bottles of castrol import atf. uh oh! (I should actually look at the bottles next time) While I'm sure I could have used these with no issue.. I decided to test out Lubegard's FM and see what happens.
I mustered up a hodge podge of older dexron iii, exxon, a valvoline, shell and a pennzoil hydro-matic dexron ii.
I poured it all in, added around 1oz/qt of the Lubegard black, started the motor up.. drove around the block and checked the stick.. 1qt down! All I had left was the pennzoil dexron 2.. well, it went in! added another ounce of lubegard black, and drove around the block.. let it idle for bit, the level was dead on.
Next day, drove to work with it, it shifted smooth & easy, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, the level was still fine, and everything seems to be good to go!
the last FM i used was lubegard green, converting dexron 3 to Mercon V. That worked very well also.
I got lazy with my Taurus.. sucked out the transmission pan with the suction bottle, got 5qts out of it.. filled it back with 2 qts of valvoline d3, 2qts of pennzoil semi-syn dex3, AND since I was still short.. my only quart of maxlife ATF.
And of course.. Lubegard Red.
It drives very nicely as well!
Go Lubegard!
