Does any one run FULLY synthetic fluid in there trans???

doing my tranny this weekend was thinking of switching over,,any thoughts???

I've heard it'* usually a bad idea on older trannies, but I'm sure someone else can tell you more.

never mind found my answer.....

post if ya want...

what brand do you guys use??

it might make it slip more at least with these trans thats what I hear but have never tried it.

I'll be running Mobil1 as soon as I can get around to a change. My '97 acts up when it'* hot, so I want all the protection I can get. It is about $6-7 a quart, so I don't know that everyone would benefit.

Check out the BITOG forum (Bob is the Oil Guy), and do a search. More info there than you can read in a night!

Other than M1, Amsoil is a popular choice.

Syn. ??????

Yessir!

IF your trans is already slipping, then you might or might not accelerate its death. I'll probably just do a fluid/filter change (5 quarts), and add a drain plug to the trans pan while it'* out. Then I'll drive it for a while, and drain and refill again with Mobil1 ATF. It wouldn't ALL be Mobil1, but a good portion of it would be. Close enough for me without doing a complete flush. I'd also add a bottle of Lubegard Red. It'* one of the few truly useful additives.

Thats what i was thinking mobil 1 full syn.

But.....been reading thats a no,no...

Where? The BITOG guys have a lot more real experience and scientific data to back it up, and I haven't read negative things about using it. Do a search and read the many Mobil1 ATF posts. I did, and it took a while!

EDIT: Of course, my luck, the forum seems to be down. It was working 10 minutes ago! Try back, it'* worth it.

Been reading on here they don't recomend it..

yea the link'* down for me too
