post your latest transmission lubricant change.

[AntsinmyEyes]

1987 Mazda Rx-7

out- gear oil that was sitting in it for the last 15 years at least. just picked the car up from a coworker whos had it in the garage since 2001. put some mobil 1 75-90 in and it seems pretty happy. also have done 3 drain and fills on my dodge 1500 with atf 4 and it seems smooth as any automatic I've been in.

Third change.

In gently used, filtered Redline MT 85 2L.

2010 Saab 9-3

A single drain and fill at 50k, first since I've had the car.

Out: 4 qts. whatever is in there from the factory??

In: 4 qts. Toyota T-IV

Feels good so far...she'd gotten a tad clunky with the shifts and it's smoother now. Whoever designed the transmission dipstick and bolt needs a stern talking to. Spent 25 minutes trying to get that thing back in.

2010 tacoma 4x4
Out...unknown, probably ff
In... Valvoline Syn 75w90 in front and rear diffs, and xfer case. Redline MT90 in 5 speed manual trans.

I usually don't go in for high priced, boutique fluids, but the toyota manual trans are notorious for sticky shifting, so I gave it a go, after all the good reviews of it, and boy, I'm glad I did, it sure makes a huge difference.

2012 Equinox 2.4. Drained and refilled with Dexron VI, super simple to do. Only 31,500 miles, fluid was black as black could be. Was low on fluid too, drained out 4qts 10oz took 5qts 8ozs to refill. This after being at 2 different Chevy dealers with 2-3 shifting problems. Shifts perfect now. Who'd a thought???

2008 Nissan Sentra
95K Miles
CVT

Changed fluid yesterday (5/15/2016).

I bought some of the Valvoline CVT Fluid at Auto Zone locally. Did a simple drain and fill using the drain plug on the trans pan. Filled 4 qts yesterday, ran the car for a bit and shifted through gears. Level looked OK, but letting wife drive it to work and I figure I'll let everything settle a bit more and check again to be safe. When I drove it yesterday, everything seemed to go smooth as butter

sciphi - Any improvement with Pennzoil Synch over the Amsoil? I've got Amsoil in my Crossfire tranny, and it was great for a couple thousand miles, then reverted back to balky shifts.

Buick La-Sabre, 2005. Transmission starting shifting hard and would go into limp mode. Just had it rebuilt about 80,000 miles ago and I am a fan of Lubegard universal additive, but the lubegard did not fix the hard shifting or limp mode.

Enter Lucas transmission fix , yes I read 100+ testimonials before I added a quart to the transmission...short of it , it stopped the hard shifting and limp mode, that was 2000 miles ago and yes all is well. Also recently did a pan drop, added 7 new quarts of transmission fluid per GM specs and all is still fine, yes added a new filter too. Am happy so far.
