Heard. And thank you.

 

Who is this idiot? almost 300k and trans shifts like butter. Idemitsu is the correct fluid. U must be a miserable loser.

 

Wow you have returned with a vengeance. LOL
That member is new and really, I would not have gone off and lowered myself to name calling. LOL

The dilution factor is a MYTH and it does not work as you and some doing the same procedure think. When you add new fluid to old it does mix and therefore *contaminate (*to use that descriptive word) the new fluid. This can be seen easily with oil analysis. On forums that people say it works are only going by the color of the fluid and not by empirical data that come from an oil analysis.

This would have me worried; a transmission should have firm shift not shifts like "BUTTER". Even Cadilac shift firmly, and you know when you are in at least the 1,2,3rd lower gears. In a Mazda if you throttle up the shifts need to be firm otherwise it is the same a riding the clutch on a manual transmission and that wears out the clutch disc. In Mazda as well most production automatics there are still friction disc.

 

Idk, u tell me. So which is it then, Maxlife or Idemitsu?

Anyway, it doesn't even matter cuz y'all are talking about automatic transmissions, correct?

 

If the oil doesn't breakdown tell me why when i drained my oil out the old oil was almost pitch black in color and after changing it the transmissions shifts and feels smoother? "what mechanism causes it to breakdown" lol the heat and the fact it is cycling through the transmission nonstop getting clamped against the clutches etc is going to break it down over time.

 

I agree with you, this guy went from saying there's nothing wrong with the maxlife after using it for like 50k to then saying "actually i think it wasn't that good" but you just said it was good for 50k miles??
