If someone isn't satisfied with the performance of T-IV, I would think it most prudent to use the Mobil 1 Synthetic that is suitable for T-IV. It's still a one-size-fits-all solution, but at least it comes from the same company that makes the original and therefore in knowlegeable about the OEM's requirements.
For the record, I have no problems with Amsoil products, just users that seem to believe they have some magical garage with three copies of every vehicle ever made, with 1 million miles on each using only Amsoil products. If I recall correctly, it's shaped like Noah's ark and the Stig's younger brother Richard does all the test miles. That, or maybe (likely?) someone with a masters in finance who calculates that yes, the regular Amsoil ATF does meet T-IV based mostly on the cost of making a unique product just for that application.
Wait, are you implying that they DON'T have a magical garage?
Now I have to go and drain all this Amsoil atf out of my truck. Dammit, and my tranny was working so well with it too.
Welcome to the forum. I see you waited over a year to make your first post, this subject must have overcome your patience threshold.
