I did. I have not seen a test where Amsoil trans fluid is better than ATF+4. I dont think it is worth the extra $8.00 per quart.

recommended

And I use ATF+4 and my transmission is working great. Just last weekend while towing the camper, the temps were 175* while towing. Its all about how much money you want to spend for the same results.

Why spend more money on AMSOIL when ALL ATF+4 is a synthetic oil, its just over priced crap in my book. I used it before and switched back to Val. ATF+4 and can't tell any differance besides having more money in my pocket after doing a service. Oh I got off subject sorry, I am rebuilding my transmission with parts from Hughes Performance and putting freshly rebuilt driveshafts in it from Action Machine.
