That's what you want. I've been using it about a year in a half now. I don't know how I got by without it. It is wonderful. Great for cold mornings and easy shifts. Enjoy!

I use AMSoil Series 2000 MT fluid - same silky shifts but I heard there was less deterioration at high temps.
If you're switching from normal gear oil to synthetic, you'll want to flush your trannie first using any generic gear oil - that will remove most of the debris. Drive with a lot of shifting for about 20 minutes, then drain and refill with Synthetic.
Volume is 4.5 qts, but you actually fill until it starts coming out of the filler hole.

I actually inquired about it and I was charged $10 for the drain and flush, and fill. I couldnt pass that up but I know the guys there so I prolly got a good discount. 5 quarts costed me $45 but so far its worth it.....nice smoooooth shifts!!!! My other stuff looked really clean anyway, but this is still smooother for sure!
