Oils for gearbox

[AlanDITD]

Guys quick tip i found out.

If you buy hyundai SP3 as i do and a few others, buy it in Litre bottles rather than 4L bottles.

I bought a 4L bottle at 18.43 inc vat thats 4.60 per liter

Then i bought 10L in 1L bottes for 31.80inc vat, thats 3.18 per litre

Given that there is no better ATF available, that you are unlikely to have the power from a VR4 (as in ever no matter what you do) to even slightly worry this fluid. That you havent done anything even approaching the mileage to have worried the fluid etc etc. May I respectfully suggest that the problem may be something else in the auto box department. I have never had anyone in the UK who has managed to 'break' this ATF in any way shape or form. If the ATF is still red then its fine.

my AFT fluid was BROWN , when I decided to change , and now I put 6 quarts of amsoil , and its perfect , and I feel the car with more power , and give me more MPG

This will have definitely helped, but six quarts seems like you have only changed about half of the ATF (i.e. only the ATF in the gearbox sump). There will still have been another 5/6 quarts in the gearbox itself, which is why the whole gearbox needs flushing when you change the ATF.

It certainly sounds like the ATF was completely destroyed though, as it was brown, so you'll just have a mix of new and old ATF now.

Well, an improvement is better than no improvement, I guess, but I would now be flushing it all out and putting in a complete new batch of Amsoil.
