Well said Nate.
I put Amsoil ATF in my replacement tranny, after first running the
regular stuff for 1K. I don't want to leave the ATF in any longer; I'm
just hoping for a longer lasting tranny. It seems to shift better with
Amsoil ATF also. For the MB 300D (240D) it says 30K to change ATF,
whereas my wife's 240 Volvo says 20K, and needs it by then.
