f_399 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 I just did a trans fluid change and decided to use Royal Purple. Has anyone used this? I do feel it shifting smoother(maybe i am just feeling this coz i paid a lot ) Feedback pls Quote
Garrett8 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 was done on a camaro on horse power tv suppose to work really well so i guess ur not imagining it Quote
gp90se Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 yes synthetic tranny will help you shuft MUCH better and run cooler, meaning it will last longer. worth the investemnt IMO Quote
f_399 Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Posted August 10, 2004 just some feedback had the synthetic trans fluid now for more then a week and i really feel the improvement. before i used to shift from 1-2 very rough... now it has smoothened out but i still feel it shifting at times (some cars you dont even feel the shift from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4). the car has been shifting smoothly in higher gears. i would say this royal purple is pretty good, have not tried other syunthetic oil though. how does the fluid change how the car shifts? is it just me?

SigEpCutlass Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 my cutty runs synthetic amsoil tranny fluid. it works great, but it's still not as smooth as i'd like it to be. I would like not to feel any shifts, but that's probably not possible... Quote
Goph Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 I may have to see about putting this in my GP, I know that tranny could shift a lot smother then it does now. Quote
midnight rider Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 Royal Purple works great. a cheaper alternative is to use the regualar style fluid and add a bottle of Lucas Trans. Treatment. It will shift better than a new tranny. I used it in my car and it removed a shift shudder problem i had. Quote
Canada Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 How are you guys changing out ATF? I'm curious as to what the synthetic stuff does when it mixes with the ATF thats currently in the transmission. You aren't supposed to mix synthetic and dino engine oil.........I'm curious if that shouldn't apply here too. Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 You aren't supposed to mix synthetic and dino engine oil.........I'm curious if that shouldn't apply here too. where'd you hear that from? you know what Valvoline Durablend is? a mix of regular and synthetic oil. you know what high-mileage oils are? a mix of regular and synthetic additatives. looks to me like oil companies mix synthetic and dino oil all the time.

Canada Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah......and b;ended oils suck dick...........look at any online comparison (other than one made by blended companies)........and you'll see they are worse than Fram filters. Quote
