Best ATF?
 

Hey team,

My 95 just hit 100K and I wanted to upgrade to better ATF.
Looking for suggestions.

Thanks,
Adrian

Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF or Castrol Synthetic.

Yeah i am using Castrol SuperSyn, that stuff is great

Redline High-Temp Synthetic

I second the redline brand.

B&M trick shift:D

I am using Vavoline AFT and Lucas transmission additive and change it every year at 30K miles. I think that changing it every 30k miles is important and the Lucas additive increases the wear properties of the AFT.

I change it every 12K miles... better that way...

Thanks for the input team. Think I'll go with Mobil 1.

I'd say Mobil 1 as it has the highest flash and fire points verified (211 I think is the flash point so at that point it begins to break down) independently which B&M and Redline don't (or at least I couldn't find). Most ATF starts to break down around 200 degrees. In my 95 with a digital gauge in the pan I can easily run about 100 above outside temps in normal daily driving. Plus it is readily available and compatable with any Dextron/Merc out there.

Not that B&M and Redline aren't good, I just like to have a lab verify the claims on the bottle before I put it in. They are kinda speciality fluids and aren't real popular in the mass market due to cost so its tough to find independent info about 'em.

Outstanding. Thanks B.

Tell me more about your ATF sensor. Easy to install?

Its a Norsdoq??? (bad spelling) digital gauge and sendor I got from Summit Racing. I didn't do the install but basically it required dropping the pan and putting a hole in it where the sender goes then sealling it up good. Went in 4 years ago with no issues since. The gauge I have between the door and the cluster. Its green and comes close to matching the green digital stuff on the SVX. I'd prefer one there as it shows the highest temps rather than cooled temps of gauges at an aftermarket trans cooler. If you want pics I can get some when my camera starts working again and the car comes out of the garage. Could be a couple weeks though.

I use this as well. :)
