Redline D4 ATF or Mobile 1 ATF

Have any of you tried both the Redline and Mobile 1 ATF's. Which would you prefer? I read the analysis but couldn't find any comments on Redline or Mobile 1, only to change at 30K and not the recommended 60K.

I tried both. Couldn't tell the difference. I'm leaning more towards Mobil 1 ATF because they are cheaper and easier to find.

The key to longitivity is consistency. If you change your oil every 4>5k WITH a OE filter the motor will outlive the rest of the vehicle. The quality of raw iron in a Maxima engine is p e r f e c tÉ.Unless youÕre a PRO dragster youÕll never no the difference. IÕve seen 500K on Nissan blocks that still show the original factory hone marks. Change your oil. ANY quality product will do, just do it regularly. ]

Check out Amsoil's ATF Fluid, go to www.amsoil.com. They also have excellent fluid, there is an abundance of specifications/test etc to read about. The only thing is you must order it (3-5 business days average shipping time. Also i agree with the other members the general key to overall longevity of your machine is frequent fluid changes. Good luck !

I put Mobile 1 AFT in my car mainly b/c they are
available in most auto parts store.
And at the time, I did not know you can mix different synthetic ATF together.
