Thanks a lot buddy

No problem

Thank you. One last question, if doing a flush is not a good idea, then some of the Life Guard fluid stays in the torque converter, mixed with the Amsoil Signature ATF, is that okay ? Just making sure. I'm going to have a shop do the Job. I know there are some procedures, and tempatures readings to go throw, shifting etc. Needs to be lifted. I just don't have the lift, or tools. Main thing. I want to make sure that mixing fluids is okay, how about if I wait a week and do it a second time. That way perhaps 99 percent is Amsoil. Also I don't see viscosity rating for ZF 8HP

Hi Eric, Doing a flush does not remove all the fluid from torque converter, this video has explanation if interested. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdhpqJt1tprKhok.html Mixing life guard with Amsoil is perfectly fine, just make sure you use correct fluid. What do you have and year? You can do second one in a week or a month, I have done it myself many times like this. Transmission manufacturers don’t specify viscosity for transmission fluid.

@@repairvehicle I have a 2020 Dodge Challenger with a 6.4 Hemi. The actual model is Challenger 50 Aniversery, but it's pretty much a Scat pack with a factory Dragpack, and Shaker with a 6.4 L / 392.

Great point!

People are condition to use OEM fluids usually from the dealership. It’s definitely tough to change when it’s been performing as needed. Myself included, I thought using Mobil 1 or similar full Synthetic was good enough until I used OE from Amsoil. Shit, made me a believer.

@@dashcamjourney4599 you’re talking about engine oil right? And what benefits did you get from it

@@Lsutton04_ Less burn off than compared to Mobil 1 for the motor oil. I’ve used Mobil 1 for over 10 years and was still skeptical before using Amsoil motor oil. Thought it was just hype. Thanks for asking.

@@dashcamjourney4599 no problem thanks for telling me, honestly

Thank you

Please let me know how it goes with 2014 ram. Thank you for sharing your awesome experience with amsoil

Lyle reinier was that 2004 dodge ram have a automatic 48 RE in it??

Thank you for sharing your experience with your toyota

Thank you for sharing your experience with amsoil atf.

Hey man how many quarts you used to fill her up I have a 2019 Tundra also and I want to do the same

@@Rodrigues680 I bought a case of 12 quarts of amsoil signature ATF . I think each drain and fill is around 3 quarts or so .

@@EverydayJ1786 ok thank you Sr

Were you having any problems with the tundra transmission before you swapped fluid? Or is it just you found it better when you did ?

Try some Redline...equal if not better...torque converter is lock up is more positive..420 k on my honda...still like new..

Nothing is better than amsoil

Awesome!

Oh yeah it's incredible stuff, definitely the best ATF you can buy

@@junior17medval Four drain and fills replace 90% of your ATF. I don’t see the benefit of going 7 drain and fills in a two to six month period. I would just do the four drain and fills, with 500 miles between each drain and fill, and then do one drain and fill per year, every year after that. My Sienna had stunningly clean and fresh Type 4 ATF before I started my Amsoil Transition so, I saw no need to use the Lucas. You were smart to only do drain and fills and not ATF flushing or bleeding through the transmission cooling lines.

​@@cgrscottactually a double drain fill does 90%

Thank you for sharing your experience with amsoil

How is this possible? Crazy impressive!!

Did you use the multi-vehicle or fuel-efficient atf?

@@freddyg8750 Signature ATF

Thank you for sharing this

@@repairvehicle the regular signature series.

So no problems at all with using signature series transmission fluid? I am thinking of switching my ford focus which uses mercon lv, and i know amsoil is reported to be good for everything including transmisison oil. but i am nervous , so anyone out there i like to ask for feedback. Thanks.

@@lightningsmokerXx no issues on toyota transmissions

How many miles on it? Has the fluid been charged before?

I’ve got a 2002 Honda Accord EX Sedan V6 and I’m pretty sure it’s got a similar transmission to yours. Haven’t switched it over to amsoil yet but I’ll be in the process of doing so shortly. I use the Honda ATF but would be interested in what amsoil has to offer

@@media1newsriverside I did. Ordered 7 liters and drained and filled... my transmission holds 9 liters.

Thanks

@@repairvehicle You’re welcome! I did the transmission fluid in my manual gearbox on my Toyota Urban Cruiser, 1.33 liter gasoline engine earlier this year. I am very happy I did it. I used AMSoil SAE75W-90 EasyPack. It shifts smoother and I believe it is running better in terms of miles per gallon.

I have good number of comments from people who said that fresh Amsoil fluid have fixed transmission issues. Will it help in your case, its possible. I have not heard of flare issues.

I have the same issue with my 2008 Toyota sienna. Did the new amsoil fluid fix the flaring in you car?

@@jaquick9474 nope. Did not. Smoothed out the shifting in general. It looks like a sticking solenoid. I'm tempted to do a vavle body change but might just sell the car.

The C2 Clutch pack are on the way out

Absolutely. I purchased my lexus es350 with 46k miles on it. First thing I did, I replaced transmission fluid.

His mother and father

Lol

Yes there 2 types of atf available for Toyota. I have not used oe in transmission, only signature series and it makes big difference.

Drain and fill, 3 times is something I would do and have done on my vehicles

@@repairvehicle What interval should I should do drain and fills? I recently did my first 2 about 500 miles apart with WS but really want to switch to Amsoil

I did one after another, 5 minutes idling. Any mileage or time works.

I don’t know, without knowing previous maintenance on transmission or how transmission performs now.

I have replaced differential fluid too, it should be replaced. I have video for both subjects

What engine size?

Yes it is compatible. www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2016/mazda/mazda6/2-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-5-5/?volume=us-volume#transmission1&zo=5257753

4 drain and 4 fills

@@repairvehicle nice, do you know how to calculate that to see how much is new and how much is old fluid? I know 4 drain and fills is the majority. I’m going to do my first drain and fill on my 17 frontier and then once or twice more at the next oil changes. Amsoil seems like it’s treating you well. Thanks

Usually I go by a total amount of fluid transmission holds and then keep draining and filling until I go through that amount or more if I have extra fluid. www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2017/nissan-datsun/frontier/4-0l-6-cyl-engine-code-vq40de-b/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753

@@repairvehicle From the title I thought you meant your transmission was destroyed. XD

What engine size do you have?

@@repairvehicle I have a Challenger 50 with a Shaker. 6.4 L / 392

Yes, I do recommend Amsoil atf for your Challenger. I switched my 2018 ram cummins to Amsoil atf and shifts better and protects transmission better. www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2020/dodge/challenger/6-4l-8-cyl-engine-code-j-esg-j/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753

@@repairvehicle thank you Sir. Hope you don't mind. I have a few more questions. Should I do a flush, or is it better to change the pan with filter, and put back in what I took out. I will be going to a shop.... Also do you use Amsoil Signature motor oil ? Or do you prefer the Pennzoil ultra platinum, or any other oil. Redline high zinc etc....

@@ericsivilla4091 , I don’t mind at all. I use signature series transmission fluid and signature series engine oil. I get extremely good results with signature series, I have lab results on my channel and I go by oil analysis, Amsoil products very cheap when compared to repairs cost and wait time to get parts. My recommendation is to drain and fill as a minimum. However, if you have trustworthy shop change your filter too. Please ask shop how they adjust fluid level in the transmission before agreeing to the service. Too many shops claim know how to do service but lack the proper tools and and oem specifications. You have very nice car and it’s a last thing you want to see someone learning on your car how to do a transmission fluid change. I don’t recommend flush.

Either way works. I do fill up and idle for 5 minutes and drain and repeat if fluid has not been changed on regular basis

@@repairvehicle well, I just bought 07 4Runner of the auction with almost 172k miles on it. Not sure on the maintenance history )

this could be helpful finding maintenance records kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jL2Xo8ln0r3bmYU.html

For ultimate protection I recommend signature series. I use only signature series.

Only Sig Series for best protection with EA filter.

Correct!

@@robertweber3140 thank you! Is it api certified?

Meets and exceed api specifications.

I use this signature series atf in my lexus 2011 es350, 2012 Sequoia and 2012 tundra. On tundra atf fluid was changed first time around 170k miles, according to the CarFAX report. I changed it second time as a second owner at 225k miles with using amsoil atf signature series. I do only drain and fill. I have ton of videos on this subject on my channel.

It will be OK as long as you do properly when it comes to checking the fluid level

@@repairvehicle you mean as draining the overfill? Or do you mean making sure there is enough, but thank you for the feedback nonetheless less especially since you have done it on your Toyota/Lexus products mine has never had a fluid change or flush and Drain and fills are the easiest and safest, do you do two changes after letting one mix or just one

Draining overfill when checking fluid level. On high mileage tundra 225k k miles I did 3 drain and fills. Same thing on 77k miles Sequoia 3 drain and 4 fills. On lexus 2 drain and fills

Amsoil by far better

Yes

You drain fluid and add fluid 4 times

Yes

@@repairvehicle Do you have any experience with Castrol transmission fluid? I'm currently running Castrol on my car but I noticed my shifts are not smooth with Castrol

No, I don't have any experience with castrol atf.

has fluid been changed before? How does transmission shifts?

No history about that. It does slip sometimes, otherwise it’s fine

Slipping is not that severe

If it's slipping already it's sign of transmission possibly wornout. However, changing fluid can improve and extend transmission life little bit longer. Is it worth changing fluid? It does not hurt to change the fluid and see if it helps or not.

Ok. Thanks buddy

smoothness comes only with Amsoil ATF. I have used factory ATF previously in same vehicle and never seen any difference. Synthetic atf fluid outperforms none synthetic factory atf, there is no smoothness with factory atf.

@Jack....I've heard this also which has me hesitant to move to Amsoil....then I have people telling me Amsoil makes Trans shift better and smoother. Then I also have people toyota tech tell me that the WS fluid was designed for the toyota trans with friction modifers specific to that trans and other stuff.....he says keep using WS to be safe.

Designed for Toyota transmission? Pure nonsense. Toyota doesn't Design transmissions. Toyota transmission Design comes from aisin not from Toyota. Aisin, makes transmissions for ram, hino, Toyota, lexus, volvo and many other vehicles.

If Toyota ws atf had friction modifiers and so on then oil analysis reports would have been better than amsoil atf, but it's a lot worse results with ws than amsoil.

@@repairvehicle I understand and 1 toyota guy told me there more to trans fluid than just lubrication so to stay with WS and I'll never go wrong & said that the only time he's seen trans problem in Tundra's is when people used other fluids. Maybe he's trying to scare me into never trying anything else....I don't know.

Hello Vladislav, I did 4 drain and 4 fill. I have video on my channel how I did. No flush, flush causes transmission damage.

@@repairvehicle No drop the pan and change filter?

No, maybe at 100k miles I will drop pan and replace filter

All the fluid cannot be flashed, it’s not possible unless transmission is taken apart. Answer to your question is yes, I been doing it for many years.

@@repairvehicle i have been using the original toyota fluid in my suv, been thinking to upgrade to 100% synthetic with amsoil but afraid they don’t mix well since toyota is at best semi synthetic.

@jordyangkawidjaja745 if they don’t mix well then I would have had issues with my Toyota suv and Lexus. But, only quality fluid like amsoil mixes well with oem atf and gives better mpg and shifting

It's not electrically, it's mechanical connection
