post your latest transmission lubricant change.

2007 Hyundai Sonata 2.5L. Maxlife ATF
2018 Ram 1500 zf transmission. 160K miles, never changed.
Did a drain and fill replacing with PPE pan and AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel-Efficient 100% Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATL).
Running smooth as ever. I plan to do another drain and fill before winter hits to get most of the old stuff out.

2017 Ford

Ford 2017 Escape, 2.0L Ecoboost
Drain & Fill

Odo at change: 119,670
Out: 4qts
In: 1 gallon jug of Valvoline Maxlife FS ATF (LV ATF meeting Mercon LV)
Was able to fill at the top of the transmission fill hole this time by removing the air filter housing. Took some bravery..

Also replaced the air filter. Last change for air filter was at 90,035, the last transmission D&F.

Ford 2017 Escape, 2.0L Ecoboost
Drain & Fill
Odo at change: 161,815
Out: 4.5qts
In: 1 gallon jug of Valvoline Maxlife ATF + 0.5 qt ST UTHF
Transmission went kaput in '21--had it rebuilt and refilled with Maxlife. Shop did a terrific service.
Fluid came out colorless and absent of evident particulates in the stream.

Daughters 2020 Elantra, 60k miles. Drained 108 ounces out cold, replaced with the same amount of OEM SP-CVT1. Easy job, but my assumption is the CVT was properly filled at the factory.

DSG service time once again...now annually. 12k mi on Liquimoly fluid. Sportwagen is at 108.5k mi. This fluid has 12 track days on it and DSG fluid temps can approach 270 at times on track. The DSG is tuned. Sample to Blackstone for analysis to update my database. This change is free from FCP. Fluid was clean coming out. Filter changed. I always run the basic settings of the transmission using the scan tool when I service it. Shifts great.

Did a pan drop yesterday. Out came out 4 quarts dark red Toyota WS factory fill and the OEM Filtran strainer.

Back went in a Duralast ATF filter and filled her with 4 quarts of HPL ATF Green.

Car feels much more smoother shifting and accelerating.

Just dropped my wife's 14 CRV off for a trans spill and fill. I think she has about 163k miles on the car. Not sure of change interval. I would have to dig out paperwork. I can say, the first time we used Amsoil was after her 100k warranty was up. It was definitely a few years ago when we changed.

Gave them a gallon of Amsoil SS ATF ATL. This is the second time we are using Amsoil in the CRV. No problems the first time, so I had no problems continuing. All other changes prior when under warranty were Honda DW-1. I should probably have them do a flush to get mostly all new fluid in, but we just dropped a lot of money the past few months on that car between front and rear brakes including calipers for all wheels, a wheel bearing and I think what were front sway bar links. Bad time of year to have all those repairs.

2013 Scion XD 75K. Did a double spill and fill with Valvoline extended protection ATF previous was Maxlife.

2019 Sentra 31500 miles. Dropped the pan , changed the pan filter and the cartridge filter on the side of the transmission. Won't be using beck arnley filters again, though. The pan filter was not quite the same as the OEM one but it does work and their pan gasket was terrible. Either way, it seems to be holding fluid for now!

Last change was two drain and fills around 15000 miles. Trying to keep it changed frequently to avoid having to do a transmission.

‘17 Honda Civic HB 6MT.

Out: Amsoil MTF (~40k miles)
In: Amsoil MTF 2qts (verified the level having the car leveled on jack stands and opening the level check hole)

Total of 84k miles on the car

, used a superior product by @High Performance Lubricants and i would not be surprised if mpg and power increased with less energy loss. Nice job and pictures!

From two weeks ago:

2005 Toyota Corolla, 157,228 miles

Out: Amsoil Signature Series ATF (9 qt fluid exchange), 31,673 miles
In: Genuine Toyota T-IV ATF (9 qt fluid exchange), also dropped pan and cleaned magnets. The filter screen appeared clean so it was not touched.

The shifting between gears during driving is much more smoother and the subtle shift jerking is pretty much gone. As for driving in general, I did notice a slight improvement in acceleration. Its really hard to gauge MPG improvements but overall the car feels better. The original ATF had over 124K miles and was very dark purple red in color. The magnets kinda speak for themselves for how much crud was in it, so I added some strong N42SH bars to increase magnetic filtering capacity of the pan which should be good for another 100+k miles.

I went with HPL because the dealership wanted over 80 dollars for 4 quarts of Toyota ATF-WS at the parts counter. I'm still on the first spill and fill since the pan drop its been a few hundred miles so far and should be doing another drain and fill to get rid of the remaining old fluid that's diluted with the HPL ATF Green.
