im about to do the drain and refill routine before this sunday and im replacing mine with mobil 1. mainly because of availbility of its 5 bucks a quart. i worked at advance auto for just over a year and not once did i sell any of the b&m. not to say its good, its just not as popular i guess.

Cliffnotes: It's safer to stick with a know quantity. I.E. Amsoil, Mobil 1 or Redline.

Or... you can be an "explorer" like Columbus & "discover" on your own what works best for you.

I say go for it! Just make sure it's a Dexron Type III grade fluid.

I use Royal Purple products & love them. But they are costly at $6-7/qt.

LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN'T USE IT IN YOUR MAX! PRE-1998 TRANNYS ONLY!

I got this from JEGS.COM

Ideal for racing, performance street, RV and heavy duty applications.
Not an additive!
Works with all transmissions when a firmer shift is desired on 1997 and earlier vehicles. Not recommended for 1998 & newer applications.
B&M Trick Shift Performance Automatic Transmssion Fluid (ATF) is the easiest way to firm up your transmission's shift performance. Not an additive, this safe and effective blend of extreme pressure agents and foam inhibitors will provide a noticeable shift improvement when you replace your existing automatic transmission fluid with Trick Shift. Ideal for street use aand high load applications such as racing, off-road, towing and heavy duty fleet use. Trick Shift may be mixed with other types of ATF but works best by itself. With B&M Trick Shift you can literally ''pour in performance''. Meets or exceeds Type F requirements.


In case you were wondering, I noticed an immediate improvement with Royal Purple @ 15,000mile fluid-change.

That's not a good sign.
