Amsoil Tranny Fluid Question

[AtoB Team]

My 02 F350 has Amsoil tranny fluid that was put in at 50K, now it has 89K.

Does anyone know when should I change it per Amsoil's recommendations and do I have to put Amsoil back in, is there any known problems with going back to standard fluid from Amsoil?

Any past experience or knowledge appreciated.

Thanks, Aaron

you shouldnt need a flush yet because amsoil is a full synthetic

Well, that really depends. Although the AMSOIL tends to hold up better, no fluid will hold up in a slipping transmission.

Have you checked the fluid lately? Is it still red? You can also get it tested to see how it's life cycle is doing.

well if your trans is slipping its already too late for it

Bullshit. My old man had an Aerostar van back in the day. He took it to the dealer and they put some snake oil shit in it and it was fine for another 50000 before he traded it in. To this day I dont know what the fuck they used but I shit you not it worked.

Who said anything about a slipping tranny? That was not the question.

So yeah, PM Darkdan.

i used to work at a few tranny shops..whether or not its synthetic or conventional it should be changed based on how its driven no matter what they tell you. i'd say change it its cheap insurance, well if its amsoil it's not cheap but ya know what i mean

[weak93lx]

oh ya don't forget to drain the converter-i'm sure u probably already knew that

Mine had amsoil in it. It is a 2001 F-150 supercrew. I bought the truck with 70,000 miles on it. At 100,000 I dropped the pan and drained the converter. I only towed my car 3-4 times with it and one time I did tow with it in over-drive (the first time, not the last 3 ), but if I knew that's how clean all the fluid was going to come out I would have waited another 15,000 miles.

Thanks Dan, I really have no preferance, but my local expert isn't a fan of the Amsoil and I guess I am the type to change it more often rather than buy the $$ stuff and change it less.

Is your car ready to go for the season?
