    I used not believe in amsoil, but after watching a couple of your videos I really believe in it. I would trust someone that says our company cannot possibly make a "one size fits all" transmission fluid (and can explain why), than someone that say they can do it. This is the real world people!

      Correct. We do make 2 types of ATF. However, not every vehicle is listed or meet their specs. We spend so much on R and D, it isnt funny. Amsoil tests, tests and tests. Our ATF is not universal.

      Hi guys if I might add to the discussion… you are right Amsoil makes a multi vehicle fluid but they never Claim that it meets all specifications. The specs that it does meet are clearly listed and then There is the low viscosity amsoil transmission fluid that meets Toyota WS and many of the other low viscosity Specifications. There is also a racing Transmission fluid that meets Ford type F . And also an amsoil CVT fluid .

    Guy buys a new $60k truck...gets mad at the $50 oil change every 5k miles...gets even more upset at 120k when they recommend a $200 transmission service...skips the $200 transmission service, that's too expensive....150k transmission fails, and wants to sue the automaker because they sold him a junk pickup truck with a terrible transmission...but they'll spend $5,000 in fuel a year chasing a football team around the country to go to all their games, but that $200 transmission service well that's just too expensive, and what do you mean I should have changed it at 30k miles the book and dealer says it don't need changed till well over 100k...well sure they want you back on the lot in 10 years or sooner buying another vehicle as a result of the neglected maintenance.

      I find it very frustrating now because even the vehicle manufacturers are emphasizing the will not honor there 10 year 100,000 mile warranty if they find out the fluid that was installed doesn’t meet the specific spec that they provide you in the vehicles manual. Forcing you to buy there overpriced spec fluid. God forbid you buy a fluid that actually meets and exceeds there’s and you end up having a mechanical issue that should be covered because of a inferior part and they void your warranty. Now you end up having to pay for a repair they should have covered. Essentially we’re forced to buy there over priced fluid at least until the warranty runs out. So I will be putting there fluid in my truck at the severe service interval or less till my warranty runs out. After that by then I should be educated enough to decide what fluid manufacturer product I will put in it.

    The newest transmissions from GM/Ford are a 9 speed automatic, and a 10 speed manual. Transmission fluid has to lubricate, act as a hydrostatic drive fluid, a lubricant, a friction modifier, and a coolant. Then I also have "transfer case fluid", too! I use Valvoline, synthetic. I have for YEARS! DEX 6 full synthetic!!! Transfer case fluid, I went with Delco. It's grape scented now! I swear to god, it's blue, it's oily and it smells like grape soda pop.

    • @thelubepage
      @thelubepage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Amsoil does not make a Universal ATF, they make one product labeled Multi-vehicle ATF. The Multi-Vehicle applies to about 55% of applications. Another ATF is labeled Fuel Efficient ATF and it applies to the other 35% of the applications. The remaining 10% is for various Foreign ATF spec's that Amsoil has no equivalent. Additionally, Amsoil has a line of Heavy Duty Commercial fluids labeled Torque Drive trans fluid and this is for mostly heavy duty Allison applications in addition in the HD fluids Amsoil offers Powershift Transmission fluids. And last but not least Amsoil offers a Racing ATF which also meets the Ford Type F fluid. So, yes you can make a fluid that truly meets several spec's but not all. The Multi-vehicle fluid does in fact meet the largest number of applications but no single fluid can meet the myriad of spec's in the market place.

    I’ve recently heard that most modern ATF types are Dexron VI/Mercon LV copies. Aisin sells a fluid that claims compatibility in both Matic-S Nissan transmissions and Mercon V transmissions. I thought this was strange when I first saw it. I was looking for fluid for my Xterra and came across this stuff. Got me thinking that Matic-S and Mercon V are similar if not the same. I’ve also seen bottles of Dexron VI say that it’s compatible with Toyota WS. Are these new low-viscosity fluids just copies of each other? I’ve used Valvoline MaxLife and it does well, but I’m considering the Amsoil Fuel-Efficient signature series since that line claims compatibility in fewer, but newer transmissions. I am skeptical that Valvoline’s 95% of vehicle compatibility.

    • @thelubepage
      @thelubepage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Amsoil does not make a Universal ATF, they do make a Multivehicle ATF. The fuel efficient low viscosity ATF meets the Toyota WS spec for ATF. Amsoil makes several ATFs to meet the various manufacturers spec's. Multivehicle ATF meets about 55% of vehicles where the Fuel Efficient lower viscosity meets about 35% of vehicles so about 10 is for Foreign cars that Amsoil has no equivalent.

      Changing trans fluid in high mileage situations takes considerable care and planning. First check the fluid by pulling the dipstick and dripping some fluid on a plain white napkin. Look for color and particulate deposits. If the color is still pink and no debris is observed then proceed. Next you need to drop the trans pan and observe the bottom of the pan. If you see a wax buildup in the bottom of the pan this mean the fluid was in service well beyond its service life and you may have some problems ahead. Clean all residue from the pan and install a new internal filter. If you found a wax buildup then use standard non synthetic ATF to refill the trans after you reinstall the Pan. Run the trans for at least 2000 miles and then drain and refill with more conventional ATF. Run the trans for 5,000 miles and drain and fill one more time this time with Amsoil ATF. If you found a clean pan then install a new filter and install the pan and fill with Amsoil ATF, run for 15,000 miles and drain and fill again. Now go 30,000 miles and drain again and refill with amsoil and go 60,000 miles.

      Of course you can use Valvoline Max life. It must be changed at normal recommended intervals of (around 30,000 miles). Amsoil synthetic is a superior product which you can use for 100,000 miles so in the long run it won't cost anymore and the margin to breakdown is much higher with Amsoil. You may never need the additional protection but if you tow or haul heavy loads your transmission may be running close to the temperature limit of the Valvoline.

Be advised that no lube / oil company will give such an open ended recommendation. Amsoil is good for about 3 times the normal drain for transmissions in normal service which works out to be ~100,000 miles. In severe service 60,000 to 70,000 miles is recommended. So how do you state a simple drain interval when the Mfg is saying fill for life. I think it should be the 100,000 (70,000 Severe Duty) or longer if recommended by the Mfg.

    Why is Amsoil ATF so expensive?what is so special in Amsoil ATF?

    • @thelubepage
      @thelubepage  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Amsoil ATF is a chemical based synthetic consisting of mainly Poly-Alpha-Olefins (PAO). These synthetic hydrocarbons are expensive and the complex additive package has to be of the highest quality to insure extremely long lived performance. This ATF is worth every penny, especially when you are operating under heavy loads and high trans temperature. Transmissions are very expensive and anything you can do to enhance protection is very cost effective.

    the strange part of this speech is that amsoil makes a product called MULTI VEHICLE ATF... which claims the exact same thing that he is saying makes the other product misleading.

    • @thelubepage
      @thelubepage  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jon, Amsoil does make a product called Multi Vehicle ATF it is not labeled a Universal ATF. Additionally, Amsoil makes several other ATF products and on each the
      specific manufacturer's specifications are listed. Amsoil maybe should have changed the name but the specifications are there to differentiate the various trans fluids
      offered. With ATF it is always good to make sure you match up with the Manufacturer's spec regardless of whose ATF you choose to use. For example, if GM calls for
      Dexron VI Then you should verify the ATF you are purchasing list Dexron VI.

    No names mentioned... But it seems to me that any ATF that claims to meet Toyota ATF-WS specs AND the Mopar specs mentioned fits the profile of an ATF that should be avoided.

      Dan Watson Constant velocity is what CV stands for regarding CV axles and CV joints. They are called constant velocity because they maintain identical velocity on both ends of the axle the end that connects to the transmission and the end that connects to the wheel via the flexible joint. Continuously Variable is the exact opposite scientific philosophy of constant velocity.

    so amsoil dealers know so little about cars he has to explain what a clutch pack is? This dude thinks the rad runs at 200f cause of the thermostat? LOL if the rad ran at 200f your car could never run like... under 240f...
    BTW my 1980s np205 t-case can use gear oil ORRRRRRR atf... yep... ATF in a gear to gear transfer case... so the whole thing about a auto transmission... and atf...
    CVT constant velocity transmission.... wow... just wow... dude donno wtf a cvt stands for but we should believe anything else?

      Matt
      Please take your medication on time! Your eminence as the grand master of all things mechanical is not in question so you don't have to continually show your superiority.
      Again, as I've told you in other post, my mission is to make sure the correct lubricant is called out for the application. So explaining the action in a clutch pack is a prelude to explaining the necessity to make a fluid that will be compatible with that action. It doesn't mean that no one knows what a clutch pack is but it is part of the explanation of why we have to make lubes that re compatible or that may enhance the clutch pack action.
      Oh Matt, I don't think you have followed my complete explanations of ATF. I explain that the auto trans has real gears (sun and planetary) and that these gears can be under just as much load as the manual trans and yet they are protected by a very light weight ATF. There are even some manual trans that use ATF so of course the Transfer case uses ATF. So Matt what is the exact lubrication regime for standard gears (no contact and slide)? You know you can use ATF, 30 weight motor oil or 75W-90 gear lube in many transmissions in others the OEM is specific calls out a specific lube.
      You got me on the CVT, I think I'll just go to my room and cry. Come on Matt, that's just gotcha tactics and usually comes from someone trying to show how they are the Superior dude. Truth is in all my discussions, I just use CVT and with all the acronyms I did a brain fart and substituted Velocity for Variable. Again, for my purpose which is to make sure the folks I am training know that the CVT takes a different fluid than the standard ATF.
      Mercon LV .... I don't know Matt, if I get this wrong you may be elevated to Grand Pubar, so let me give it a try. Is it Low Viscosity? Oh my I hope so. This is so much like Middle School but I have to respond.
      Amsoil meets and exceeds the API ratings on all oils. Amsoil does not license all their oils via the API and neither do all the oil manufacturers. Check out Valvoline high mileage oils and you won't find the famous donut symbol. The License means you are complying with the additive limits from the EPA and Valvoline and Amsoil may have a more robust additive package so the API will not license the oil. However the performance requirements set forth by the OEM's can be met and this qualifies the oil company to list on their bottles that they meet or exceed the API standard, you just won't see the licensing. Check out any Amsoil oil and you will see the API S for gasoline and C for diesel ratings. You will even see the donut on some products.
      Matt, Amsoil has been making synthetic oil for auto's and trucks longer than anyone (since 1971). In fact Amsoil produced the first API rated synthetic oil for auto and trucks. Al Amatuzio started the company and today his son is now the CEO. This company went from a small startup to having over 800,000 square feet of manufacturing in an ultra modern blending facility in Superior WI. The company is well respected and considered the pioneer in synthetics. I don't think you like the idea of independent dealers. Al Amatuzio was crazy about entrepreneurs and loved to see the little guy get a chance, so Amsoil is built on the independent dealer model. You will have some Amsoil dealers who may not get everything exactly right and some who are over aggressive in sales but in my 27 years with Amsoil most dealers are striving to do a good job and build their business.
