I am sorry. I can not resist. Here is a sacrificial offering for all to have fun with ripping to shreds, correcting the grammar and accuse of flat out lies.
Should be fun for some. But this is why I have faith in quality lubricants.
In 2002 a certain brand of sedans' transaxles (transmissions) began to fail at an alarming rate. So many that people tried to force a recall. Mine had 20,000 miles when I asked a friend (brandX Service Manager) if he thought I should do the routine fluid / filter change. He took me aside and told me... "You do not want to do that. Our mechanics who own those 2002 sedans and work on them reported this... Usually no problem UNTIL the fluid services (these 2002s had no replaceable filters) are performed. Then .... failures occur." He told me the mechanics were adding a pint of a certain cleaner for 100 mi. once every 20,000 interval. Then flush out and replace transmission fluid with a specific (which is one that is not intended for long term use) transmission fluid. It did not make sense cause the one they were using was for racing. Never the less , I followed his instructions and kept that 2002 sedan running and not once did the transmission slip / trip or fail for 18 full years and 228,000 mi before trade in. The service manager told me he knows the young person who owns that car now and its still going strong. So, I can't prove if I just flat got lucky (cause ALL 2002 brandX transmissions did not self destruct) or did my preventive maintenance regimen that dealership mechanics put me onto helped? I figure I avoided a possible $3000 to $4000 repair job with their help. Now folks can rip this story to shreds and accuse me of lying or what ever. There are reasons that there are many makers and sellers of similar products. Some are poor and some are top quality. A fact of life. To me , not worth a fight about. To each his own. I made certain NOT to say what we were using in those transmissions. I will now go away again. Peace to all.

Thank you for pointing that out. No more since I do typo errors at times. Thanks so much.Sometimes people need to look back at what they just wrote rather than focusing on writing more.
