Synthetic Transmission fluid

jeremys73 · 02-11-2006, 02:56 PM

I went in a shop today that advertises transmission flushes and inquired about what type of flush he performs and if he had Mobile 1 synthetic. Well, he (the owner of a "fluid change/tune-up shop) tells me that Mobile 1 doesn't make transmission fluid. Then he even says "someone has been telling you some bad information."

So, he said he could get me in at 2pm and I said "see ya then"... So then off I went to a yota dealership and scheduled a flush for Monday. The only thing is that they don't offer mobile one.
How have any of you got a mobile 1 flush and how much was it? Dealership is $150 for dino.

You can use Mobil 1 sythetic oils in all the gear boxes.
M1 75w90 would be what you'd want to use.

Just a thought but you can also use Amsoil. Pretty expensive stuff.

I paid a shop $75 to do the flush and the Amsoil costed about $100.

Somone should probably tell Mobil that they don't make tranny fluid, they seem to be putting something in this bottle that is labelled 'ATF'
