Whitey....check this information out on the red. Middle of the page on the 4R70W's.

 

Looks like it helps formulations that are otherwise lacking, just as I thought.

 

I'm guessing my 4r70w uses mercon v so that wouldn't help my intermittent of shift shudder?

 

Didn't try to strike a nerve... But yeah, I am serious. Talked to some lady from their corporate off and on for about 2 weeks about it. Even was going to be a dealer for a bit there. Next thing I know, I've got these people wanting me to get in as a dealer under their name. Maybe Amway would be a better description than Avon. I tried to order from them instead because it was going to cost me about 100 dollars a year to be a dealer. Decided I'd rather focus on other things, and at this point all I wanted to do was make an order. The dealers I went to, I found, were the same guys trying to get me in under them. I couldn't talk to them without feeling pressured, and I don't play games like that. Dead serious Brew, I'm not disputing that they sell a superior product. Not at all. I am contesting the way they sell their products though. I remember you saying Carquest carried it, but they've gone belly up here in UT. They were bought out by Advanced.

Can you suggest somewhere else? I sincerely tried to buy their stuff - but just went with synthetic instead.

 

Interesting. I am going off what Transtar said was best for them. I've used green in it twice, and only positive results.

 

I don't know what this stuff is about having to become a dealer, that's unheard of here, since we have so many suppliers. If we didn't, I d order through Amazon or e bay. It's the best synthetic you can buy, Amsoil and Royal Purple. Just for transmissions and power steering.
When using Merc V I almost purchased a new trans as I haddn't another choice, so I thought. This was back in 07 when the trans was slipping badly. I was talked into trying Amsoil by someone I trust. This was over 10 years ago and the trans is still going strong. Amsoil has that miracle formulation that brings them back from the dead..unbelievable so.

I may be skeptical, if I didn't see it for myself lol.

 

That's kind of what Lubegard does, but you're only putting in a few ounces and you're fixing someone else's product..... whereas Amsoil has the stuff you need all in it. I've also heard there is now a Mobil 1 has a top tier formulation now, which I need to look into. There have been a couple debates on BITOG over which is better.

Either way, I will switch the Toyota over to something better this spring... and use that as my lab rat, as it sees the most miles of anything I own (Can't beat the mpg's).

 

Just thought of something - since I got the Toyota in August, I've put exactly 3 tanks of gas in the truck. Kinda feel bad about that, lol.

It is about to get thrust back into service again though. We've had about a foot of snow dumped on us in the last 26 hours (still snowing as I type this too). Expecting even more snow on Monday.

 

BTW, AK.... speaking of IT, I switched over to the cable modem and I am very impressed. I guess I can call Century Link and kill my DSL now. I wanted to make sure cable was what I needed. I wish they'd come bury their damn line though. Damn near hit it with the snow blower today. Coulda been painful.... living without internet for a period of time, LOL. This is the router I went with below, which is great if you have kids. The best parental controls I have ever used on any router/modem. It is also accessible remotely so I can kill the internet on any device from my phone, anywhere. Also has media prioritization.... so I tell it to slow anything down but Sling, LOL.

 

They want $139 for that router, but with Wikibuy, it is $104 delivered. Not a bad price at all.
