acooper5 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 What is the best automatic tranny fluid to use, I have to do my 30k service. I have heard redline is good, but is there a certain brand or particular line to use for the autos? thanks.... Semper Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have heard amsoil is good from jersey glock, i too have to do my 30k service still. Contemplating doing the amsoil flush and service at ipt if possible. Then i heard from precision tuning that they recommend the subaru transmission fluid. So i am also up in the air about this one. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyglock Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'm very happy with Amsoil synthetic oil. Make sure they flush the TQ too and Add a cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korpsepatrol Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I don't know about aamco i just have a wierd feeling about letting a "service everything" place is really the place to go.

VTGT Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have been up in the air too. I think the BG Flush, with the BD additive/Subaru OEM fluid might be the safest bet. I will be doing that soon and also throwing on my tranny cooler by the end of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Let us know how that goes and if you see a difference in smoother shifts. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underpowerd Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 The difference in clean/crisp with the BG flush is very noticable at first, but fades a bit with miles as, I suppose, the t/c regunks. I'll probably be giving synth a shot (and hopefully a VB upgrade if finance permits :crossfingers:] next time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 BG flush with Subaru ATF along with BG additive every 18k;):) Get a tranny cooler ASAP I'll be trying AMSoil ATF next go around Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Sorry whats the BG flush?

VTGT Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 BG flush with Subaru ATF along with BG additive every 18k;):) Get a tranny cooler ASAP I'll be trying AMSoil ATF next go around Are there any negatives to running the amsoil synthetic ATF? I really want to because IPT suggests it in all there transmissions but some people say the subaru stuff is the only way to go :/ I feel like the lower ATF temps would be worth it especially with a tranny cooler.....

wukindada Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Cooler temps.....reduction of friction.... Bottom line though is it has really not been used much in our cars. A authorized formula was just released not to long ago. I'll be doing the fluch & then AMSoil ATF in Dec. Anyone that is in need of AMSoil products but cannot find them local buy from a fellow member Waverunner.....great guy/great prices:):) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

Nice I guess I will wait on the BG additive I only have 18,000 miles on my car 6,000 are at stage 2. I want to put the tranny cooler on should I wait until I get the flush (might be a few months) or just add it on now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Cooler first..... You will lose very little fluid. Have the Tech show you the color of the fluid as he is draining it Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
