Looks to be I'm hogging the board this morning! Well... aren't I entitled to two questions a day?? LOL

I did a search on synthetic ATF and related problems... I didn't find anything that would indicate the automatic transmission (AW 72L) would slip after changing to synthetic. A Volvo mechanic told me that changing over to Mobil 1 synthetic ATF on my 1992 940 with 150,000 miles on her could lead to a slipping transmission. He advised against it.

My experience with other vehicles and my judgement tells me to go for it. I'm planning on doing the total flush from the radiator and switching over to Mobil 1 in the next week or two (finances allowing!!). What think you? Has anyone heard of or experienced any automatic transmission problems after switching to sythetic ATF? My search on the subject has only turned up "good news" regarding synthetic ATF.

Thanks! (for the second time today)

Steve
