Red Line vs Royal Purple ATF, etc
Just wondering if anyone has any more up to date info, longer term impressions, etc on using the synthetic fluids in the tranny. Anyone happen to do a before and after dyno?
I read where 09Factor said he was getting better shifting with the RP. Any other thoughts?

I've been using the RedLine High Temp ATF for the last 2 years without issues. A bit more rough shifting (when the car is pushed hard) but this is why I wanted the extra viscosity. And the High Temp rating means to protect when car overheats (as 4AT does). Low speed bobbing when engine is cold much reduced versus the OEM ATF also.

AMS Oil ATF was good, the shift was smoother when the car runs after 30 mins.
Overall I can feel the difference b/w the OEM and the AMS oil.
I do wait for some Royal purple review at this point.

When I used RP for the AT, it smoothed the shifting. Also shifting at higher RPM's were more positive, quicker, and smoother.
i haven't used it since I became FI'd. Thats a diffrent story Easy knows about.

You can't just leave a tease like that hanging - so what happened, and what are you using now?

Also the cat and middle pipe. It was the rock, a ditch, or a Duley 350HD Ford truck.
I picked the rock. This happened Aug, of '06.

That question could be debated for a long time.
Dave hit a rock the size of a watermelon and took out everything under the car that held fluid. And a little more.
So you like the RP ATF Phil.? I'm going with Redline in the next month or so. Unless Ray wants to make me a guinea pig for his ENOS too.

thanks nick
I may do it soon, or I may wait until I hit 30K (I'm at 20K now). Haven't decided yet. I'm not really having any problems (knock on wood), but I'm researching to see if switching to the synthetic will really give me any big advantage over OEM.

FYI - my dealer tech (who doesn't really seem like the "gouge the customer" type) does recommend changing it every 30K to be on the safe side.

If you do that much damage to a vehicle it stands to reason that there could have been personal injury and in my usual incoherent fashion, I was trying to find if he was injured.
Easy: Well I did try Redline once and was not impressed. I felt no change in the tranny and it only lasted as long as regular AT fluid. When I first went to RP I felt a real change in the A/T as it shifted smoother and seemed to run cooler. I am due for a fluid change but not because it's been over heated. Now comes the question will this be a fair test of the new fluid cuz I have the BHR A/T radiator? It should be as I have no respect for conventional thought on the use and rev limits of the A/T.

Thanks for asking. I'm ok,just not right. The car is fine, and the tubo wasn't even bought yet. When the dealer replaced the oil pan, it always leaked. Well that was fixed last week.
I was doing some reading on AMSOil, RP and Redline...
I ahve read in diffrent forums that the Redline either seems to breakdown faster or the user dosen't sense a diffrence. I also don't believe everything I read.
Since I know what RP feels like in a NA car, I want to try the AMSOil next.
