Mostly Redline D4 - 29,082 Miles - 2000 Volvo S40

This was the first flush after doing an Auto-RX cleaning. This is about 80% Redline D4 and 20% whatever was in there before. Normal service and there is no transmission filter at all on this car.

Thanks!

Visc and TAN look great.

Wear is high. I suspect much of the wear is from the impartial change. An inline filter(magnefine/permacool) should take care of anything worrying about regardless of the total wear PPM.

Was this ATF flushed or changed?

This was flushed for ST Dex VI(well, 1 quart ST Dex 3 cause I ran out of 6). Haven't added a magnefine yet, but will at some point. Going to run this 30k miles and do another flush.

How does the tranny feel with the ST Dex VI vs the Redline?

 

[NYSteve]

I think it feels a little softer but I'm 99% sure it's the BITOG OCD that I don't have $9/qt fluid in there.
