Getting ready to change the ATF at 30K and would like to use Mobil synthetic ATF. I am just concerned it will cause some problem or void the warrantee. Any advice?

Don't quote me but many org members have had very good luck with the mobil 1 and amsoil ATF. As far as the warranty, these fluids are far better then the stock stuff, so I wouldn't think it could possibly void anything.

It will not void the warrenty. Thats like saying an oil change would viod the warrenty.

BTW I am running Mobil1 ATF and I love it.

Your owner's manual should state that Dextron III ATF is recommended for your car. Both AMSOIL and Mobil 1 ATF meet or exceed D-III requirements.
