Thanks for the help everyone! tcp71 thanks for that tidbit... Glad to know there's nothing crazy wrong with my transmission. I have just done a drain and fill as well as changed the filter in the pan and cleaned magnets about a week ago, no change in the transmission. I purchased a Magnefine...

Originally Posted by 4WD The same company makes a magnet kit that goes between the base and an XG16 Fram or ? - that's what I had on my GMC and it's way more of both things you are looking for. With a drain plug - I could do filter and ATF pan volume in 20 minutes - clean and easy. (that magnet...

Hi guys Just wondering what your opinions are on installing a spin on filter base with a filter, compared to a Magnefine inline filter. Obviously the clear difference would be the price and the fact that the Magnefine filter has a magnet inside to catch ferrous material, whereas the spin on...

Thanks guys I will have to look into the Krown T-40. I've heard only good things about their rust protection services but have never heard of this product. Any ideas on where to buy it? Also...Krown T-40 vs Fluid film? Which one is better? I basically want something that I won't have to replace...

Hey guys Didn't really know where to post this so putting it here. The past few years I have put red and tacky grease #2 on some rust spots on my cars to "stop" or slow them down during the winter months until I can fix them in the summer... The only problem with this stuff is that it's super...

Originally Posted By: Flying_A I believe you are mistaken about the Rotella 'T'. The Rotella 'T' is not a 5W-40, it is a conventional 15W-40, in a white jug or quart bottle. The T6 is it's synthetic brethren in 5W-40, in a navy blue jug. Those are basically the differences based on appearance...

Thanks. Unfortunately I have never seen 0W-40 Mobil 1 oil here...the only ones they have are the 5W-40 for diesel engines and 5W-30's...

Hey guys I'm in Canada and it seems here at Canadian Tire they only sell Rotella T 5W-40 (although not 100% sure...just what they show on their site I need to double check for sure in the store) and Walmart does sell Rotella T6 5W-40. What's the difference between these two oils? I read that...
