Hi:

I did run Amsoil in my 85 Trans Am with 700R4 transmission. Issue I had was with leaks. Always a spot under the car. Finally had enough and had the tranmission taken out, drained with converter and put back Dexron III, no more issue with leaks.

I run Amsoil Trans fluid in my 1998 Toyota and 2004 Subaru, no issues at all.

Hope this helps

thanks for the reply, so you had a leak with amsoil and none with dexron? are they a different viscosity i wonder? how long was the amsoil in the tranny before you changed it?

 

Once I converted back DEXRON III, Drained Transmission and Torque Converter, Leaks Stopped. I had it in for for 6 months or so before I got tired of the leaks plus going back and forth to the mechanic.

Amsoil is an awesome product. I use the Amsoil 5w30 Oil in my Trans Am and my Daily Driver, 98 Toyota Camry. My Camry and Subaru Forrester both converted to Amsoil Synthetic Transmission fluid, no issues at all.

The fuel additive is also great, but Amsoil is getting expensive these days.

The Cooling system in my TA was converted to Evan NPG+ waterless coolant, which I feel the car runs cooler.

Hope this helps

 

thanks alot, i have never been disapointed with amsoil. but most company usually have that one crappy product and i just wanted to know this wasn't it lol

 

so now, I just use the Dexron Transmission fluid with a Bottle of Lubegard Trans Additive
