Thats a new on to me. As for this tranny fluid debate, there are aftermarket
type 7176 equivalents for around $2.00 a qt. You can also get a friction
modifying additive to convert Dex III to 7176 types. That only costs $13.00
for ten oz. bottle which treats up to ten quarts. I would think that you
could add the friction modifier to Mobil 1 fluid and be kosher. I'll stick
with the 7176 and change it once a year or so (every 20k).
Oh, the modifier I am talking about is made by Automatic transmission Products
Inc. (ATP) P/N AT 203.
