Hey dude. thanks for that info.

From everything I've read, BNR > Trifecta.

Yeah I think they have 1 main guy who does the tunes, which is why it takes so long.
Ya its just jerry. He should really hire another tuner. I mean im still not happy with my tune, like its not where i want it to be. Some days the cars fine and others its just off. Its just a long process being a week to reply.

Considering the $599 price tag, that is not very acceptable, I agree.

That said, you want the best guy (Jerry) working on the tune... so, necessary I suppose.

I would go with Dex 6, no fluid that "fits all" would go in my transmission.

Fair point.

But don't forget AMSOIL makes these type of fluids as well, and they far exceed OE specs.

All DEXRON 6 is synthetic.


I think you are thinking of ATF+4. I believe Dex 6 only needs to be a minimum of blend.
