synthetic transmission fluid
#11
touche
now I have to hear it from 69 too
anyway, I'm cheap (it's pretty obvious in my posts) but for giggles I did a complete tranny flush (not just a drain) in one of my vehicles and used Amsoil synthetic. It killed me to pay that much for fluid when generic was calling out to me but I wanted to give it a go.
At idle, the vehicle actually rolled about 1-2mph faster, no kidding. I never bothered to check mpg because i didn't do a before and after
Now, would fresh regular fluid have been similar, who knows. I had 60k on the clock and it was time for that maintenance item and who remembers what it was like brand new.
i don't have a transmission temp gauge either so can't say if it runs any cooler.

what I can neither confirm or deny is were the results only because of synthetic or would regular fluid have done the same after the flush.
