at the time. Slipped between 2nd and 3rd gear immediately after install. Drained it and installed Castrol product. Slip went away. IMO, don't try and save a buck on ATF using supertech. Plenty of other name brands out there that actually work.
I've heard nothing but good things about Warren/Supertech oils. I suspect if I develop a slip it it will be because of the 170,000 miles and lack of maintenance, not because of Supertech...
Car had 60K then. Changed atf every 15K. Car had 95K now. Car is in good shape. I only provided my experience to balance the reviews against the fan boys. I'd use their motor oil but not their atf.
I think this is the problem with multi's. They are designed to work in too wide a range of cars to work perfectly in any of them. Your application obviously wasn't a good match.
I certainly wouldn't call myself a "fan boy* but I have used their products and have not had any problems. I see a lot of posts from supertech haters that believe it's low bidder garbage because Walmart sells it, and ultimately they really just hate Walmart in general.
Personally I'd be willing to put my money where my mouth is and change out all my fluids to ST as a long term test.
I don't have issue with Wal Mart. Their motor oil is good. I've used their TCW-3 in various two cycles too without issue. Planning to buy a Coleman 20F sleeping bag there this week for $40.
