So I just flushed my tranny and put Syn Mobile ATF in. I didn't really think I would feel a difference just from adding the liquid. But I was wrong. The shifts are incredibly unnoticeable. Sometimes I can barely tell it shifted. What a difference! I guess I had better feel a difference for the price of the stuff. Autozone had it listed at $6 a bottle so I thought I was about to get really hit, but it only rang up as $5 a piece.

 

I changed mine pretty early, so I never really noticed a difference. I do feel better having it in there though.

 

I used a pepboys motor oil coupon for M1 buy 3 get 3 free to get a case of ATF the cashier didnt seem to notice, i also feel a difference in the shifts

 

I don't think there is a pep boys around here. I wish there was. Car just runs so nicely now.

 

how much fluid does a 4th gen auto tranny take??sorry...i have many questions and i need as much info as possible...i heard it can take up to 8 quarts...

 

10 quarts. You'll probably need 12 to do a full flush.

 

I just wanna do a drain and fill i got 67000 miles on her should i use mobile syn or something else? how many quarts is that?

 

Damn, you have enough posts that you can start you own thread right?

 

wait mobil 1 atf is the blue bottle black cap right???

is there a SYN version out??? if so how does it look like?? i got mobil 1 atf, but regular.. should i buy the SYN??

i have a 97

 

Mobil ATF would be in a blue bottle(i think) Mobil 1 is synthetic and is in a silver/grey bottle. Either will work, the syn will just work better

 

I took 12 to an express oil change place to do the flush and they only needed 10. Brought the other two just in case and returned them to pep boys afterwards.

 

This may sound dumb, but when i wanted to buy some ATF, the guy at pep boys said i needed..dextron....something cant remember right now, but my question is...If i were to go to pep boys/murrays/autozone and wanted to buy synthetic ATF fluid is it just plain "SYNTHETHIC ATF FLUID"? or do i have to search for the correct "TYPE" for my 97 max ? as in Dextron/Mercon 1, 2, 3, 4?

 

Mobil 1 ATF is Dextron/Mercon compatible. Some cars take Dextron (GM comes to mind) while others take Mercon (usually 3, Ford comes to mind).

 

ya i noticed SYNTEHTIC ATF come in diff't colored bottles, just gotta make sure u read. oh well, ill save my REG. ATF for ps.
