You notice a difference after you changed it? I'm about to do it.

This is one of the first mods any AT equipped car should do! A good high quality synthetic ATF will drop tranny temps 5-15 deg F. A 10 deg F drop in ATF should increase the life of the internals by 10k-20k miles!!!!

If anyone is interested, I received more Amsoil forms to sign people up as Preferred Customers. This allows you to get all Amsoil products at dealer cost The cost is $10/6 months or $20/12 months. This covers shipping, sales tax, and all the catalog/pamphlets that they send to you. <a href="mailto:GR_Racing@Yahoo.com">EMail Me</a> if you're interested, along with your address and I'll send the forms out asap. It takes a few weeks to process.
