Re: Transmissions..Mythicai ATF+4

(1) ATF+4 is a Semi-Synthetic (correct)
(2) Scheduled oil/atf changing intervals depend on your location (Schedule A
or Schedule B - check your owners manual)
(3) Do NOT mix ATF+4 with ATF+3 (or any other fluid) in a transmission that
is made specifically (and requires) ATF+4.

I've personally seen a transmission that came in with less than 25K miles
and it was "toast" due to the incorrect fluid being used.
