What's the best transmission fluid for the N/A auto box.

 

I guess it's personal opinion (May be i should start a poll) but I would like to hear what you all think....

Auto boxes can be funny about their oils. Choses the CORRECT one, read spec, for the car, and then make sure it is a good make.

I emailed the guy at Redline and asked him the same question - here's his reply. I asked redline as a friend with toyota MR2? used redline oil in his manual box and it transformed the car.

 

...Our fully synthetic D4 ATF will be perfect for your auto box - I enclose details of the oil - the biggest advantage of a synthetic ATF is that there is no lubricant breakdown with heat whatsoever. Auto boxes run very hot on a good day and during the regular mineral oil life the performance of the box decreases as the oil breaks down.

 

With owners club discount the D4 ATF is £9.93 including VAT per US quart (946ml) with free carriage on 3 quarts or more.

 

Best wishes,
