99 automatic trans fluid

I did think it was for 4 wheelers but you never know that you might have missed something

Well, just ordered 18 qts. Free 2 day shipping $86.00 including tax. Since no one here apparently used it I will be the tester I guess.

Sorry I wasn't more clear, I have used it among other brands . Basically whatever was on sale at the time .

Warren Oils blends many of their (Super tech) fluids, as well as Pennzoil. If you arent familiar with Warren Oils do a search on them, they make oils for many different brand names

Well, ordered the trans filter kit from Genos. Received the filter and no gasket. Called them up and Scott sent the kit out. Still waiting for the post office to deliver probably tomorrow although USPS shows today (not surprised) as they are usually off by a day. Surprised when I pulled the drain plug as it was gushing so fast it almost ran over the side rim of my 15 quart pan. Without emptying I also drained the TC. I was also surprised the fluid in the pan was completely full. The last time I just did the filter I only had to add about 6 qts. on a refill. Re-did the rear band since it is under the pan and cut open the added BD aux. filter. Another surprise was a clean aux. filter, trans. main filter. The pan was also very clean, just burnt fluid. Gonna be at least Wed. before this is done as Medical appts. tomorrow (Tuesday). Rechecked all the valve body torques while I was in there also.

Hold quite a bit huh. I always place an open 5 gal pail under the pan drain plug till it stops, then put the plug back in and shift the pail to the TQ drain plug. I use a 2' X 3' X ½" sheet pan when I take the pan off, catches the straggling fluid that continues to drip no matter how long the pan is off. Good times.

Yeah, that Mag Hytec drain is a pretty good size and the fluid definately gets with it. I definately did not think I was going to get 15+ quarts without loosening the valve body bolts.

I'm all for saving a few bucks when I can. The Wally world products seem to be made by a reputable supplier so far. That said How much does a new truck cost? 50-85K and you want to skimp on it's life blood???? Or use a product that "Might Work" ? I think I'll stick with the name brand products they have the backing to offer a warranty should their product be fatly and cause damage. I just ran into an issue at work with a batch of BAD lube oil. Our supplier cross contaminated a load of lube we got it into our engines we caught it in time and didn't damage things. Our supplier and Mobile stepped up to the plate and took care of getting rid of the bad lube and flushing things out along with replacing well over $35K worth of lube. Try to get one of these small aftermarket company's to do that.
Use what the manufacture says to use and be happy.
