Guys,
I saw that Advance Auto Parts had Mobil 1 ATF on clearance for $1.75. They were saying it was discontinued. I now see that Auto Zone has it on clearance for $6. Is this product (the Dex III ATF that has been around forever) truly being discontinued by the manufacturer?
I've used this since my first ATF drain/fill on my 2002 Toyota Tacoma that I bought brand new 20 years ago. I have 252K miles on it now and do a drain/fill every 50K. So I bought enough on clearance to have enough for my 300K mile drain/fill. I'm working from home these days so at that rate I may not put another 50K miles on my truck for 10 years, so I didn't want to buy more than that.
Anyway, if M1 ATF *is* being discontinued and there are others out there with older vehicles that call for the Dex 3 spec that have been using it, what are you planning to switch to? I may or may not ever need to switch to something else myself at this point, but I'm curious! Maxlife? Some Dex VI?
