I know for many things Royal Purple makes a great product. It SAYS that it is good for our transmissions, but I want you opinions. The reason I ask is because it lists many different makes and models that it works for. If is so vestal, is it as good as factory for ours?

Some guys swear to go only by what the OEM says to use and to some extent a agree. However if the brand your thinking about using meets the standards per the OEM than it should be fine.

 

When it comes to ATF fluid I always return to this post by Rudy. CLICK

But do what you want, your car and it could become your problem.

 

Did a little more research and found this.
