Leaks? You shouldn't have any leaks...:dunno:

It's best to avoid using any synthetic ATF in a SyTy trans. Just stick with a non-synthetic Dexron III fluid and add a bottle of Lubeguard. You can get the Lubeguard at a lot of parts stores or here: http://www.detroitturbo.com/cart/product_info.php?products_id=82

Whats the reason you avoid synthetic ATF? I'vs got a whole case of RP ATF that I bought for my 03 Infiniti M45 back in Dec but then I got rid of that. Guess I can put it in the Nissan Quest. :lol:

I know very little about automatic transmissions, but I know not to use synthetic ATF in a SyTy trans. If you search you'll read a lot about SyTy owners who used synthetic ATF's and their trans most likely failed prematurely. A few of the OG trans gurus say that the synthetic ATF's cause more slippage, therefore generating more heat. More heat is bad news for transmissions.

George Blake says:
"Amsoil is a VERY good fluid." It is synthetic and expensive.


From what I understand:
The problem with picking ANY fluid is that the torque converter shudder problem.
Either the fluid is too thick or thin so the plates or valves don't like it.
Adding some Type "F" fluid fixes some of that, but it burns up easily so a cooler is required.

Re: Royal Purple ATF

I use RP fluids in all my vehicles.

My trans builder said RP is ok for MY trans. I dont know about other transmissions.
