Syn ATF. Does it cause leaks? 850

I've heard that it does. I want to flush the trans with Amsoil, but will still do the dino in the crankcase. I change oil every 3,000 miles. The trans gets flushed every year, about 8 - 10K miles. Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

Paul, where are you?

Go with the Amsoil Universal Synthetic ATF, it is the best product that I know of. You will be amazed by the performance. Too bad it's October if it were July or August you would feel an immediate decrease in heat coming off the drivetrain - I did big time. I use this stuff in all my vehicles, it is worth the price. We use Series 2000 0W-30 in the engines, very impressive product, it just may be years ahead of the others. If you go Amsoil fluids for the engine, trans. and rear differential you will be doing your car a big favor. The diff. uses less than 2 quarts but makes a dramatic impact also. (Series 2000 75W-90).

Results will be felt immediately, they get better, and better and......

If you can't find a local dealeer listed in the Yellow Pages, you can order direct at www.amsoil.com. Feel free to use customer number 24558.
If you are going to buy a case of ATF, you will be ahead by becoming a Preferred Customer.

I would suggest trying a Murray's Auto Parts - that is where I first found it.

Because we service four vehicles in this family, a member of this board suggested that it would be to my advantage to become a "preferred customer" for 20 dollars a year. I took the advice and became a preferred customer, which entitles me to a wholesale price, the same as a dealer. You also get the monthly newletter.

I pick up directly from the distribution center in Bensenville at 295 Lincoln Ave. #630-595-8385. I order it at the toll free line 800-777-7094, then I pick it up.

I am very impressed especially with the Synth ATF. The cars ran cooler all summer. Good Luck in your pursuits.

I flushed my tran with synthetic Mercon V today. I have seen no leaks yet but I have noticed some smoother shifting. Maybe it is just in my head.......but it seems smoother. AAMCO from AutoZone.
