My commments were not solely aimed at you, just partially. Amsoil markets there Universal ATF as meeting many OE specs with Dexron VI being one of them. I would be more inclined to look at their marketing before Redline. And I think Amsoil's ATF is an awesome product. Redline is merely meeting the low viscosity requirement for DEX VI and Toyota(WS), Mercedes while providing excellent wear protection. DEX VI and Toyota WS are nothing special. That's been clearly illustrated here in VOA's.
I also didnt mention other "universal" Atfs that claim to be compliant with the new Dex spec. People are overthinking this [censored]. There is a reason universal atf's are taking over and its not because they rely on advertising alone. Redline and amsoil are popular atf's because people switch from OEM and feel a difference in shift quality or maybe how much longer the fluid lasts in service. [censored] advertising only goes so far. I have said it before on here, I have a work truck (suburban) with over 200,000 running Redline D4. It shifts like the day I bought it. No seal leaks.
To each his own. Redline actually makes some of the best ATF out there, and I have used quite a few. I have learned that the only real way to find what works is to try a bunch of different products and see which one performs best. Im with you on deceptive marketing, but im just not seein it with Redline.
