It didn’t answer the question specifically but it allowed me to formulate a far better defense for my seemingly illogical decision to pay more for the same “type” of transmission fluid. There are still a lot of holes in my argument but here’s the gist: Standards were set for (just who and how SAE and ASTM standards are set?) the industry concerning transmission fluids. I presume they have to deal with viscosity at established levels over time and temperature (I don’t know who does that either; who determines specs for “Type”? ). It appears these “standards” are rather broad-based in nature. However, due to the complexities of transmissions and the multitude of designs, the level of performance engineered into any specific transmission may not be fully addressed by these given fluid types as exemplified by the technical paper mentioned here. These are more refined levels of performance speced for any given transmission that go beyond the guidelines of published “types”. For example, my Chrysler transmission may be designed to perform at temperatures specified by Type F fluids but is really built to perform beyond the time frame and temperature set forth by Type F and they’ve developed a fluid to meet those more stringent specs with the aid of several third parties. If that’s true, then using anything less may (not necessarily will) not perform as well and may even shorten component life. Which leads the ultimate consumer faced with that ever recurring question…. just how luck do you feel today! I’m stickin’ with Mopar! Thanks for all the input. |

Just all I needed to read (pages 6-7). That convinced me. Aston Crusher actually gave the explanation before I wrote my conclusion. He pretty much hit it on the head after I reread it just a minute ago. Anyway.... I'm convinced. |

Heck, they claim they can read. -- As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.

How long should it take to read a couple dozen pages? Most of the important stuff was shown in the graphs, particularly the test result comparisons of the different fluids as they "aged". |
