Tranny oil?
 
Is anyone using AMSOIL in there tranny? I'm thinking of switching to the AMSOIL super shift oil for high HP applications. Just woundering if anyone is using it or what there using. Thanks.

I just use good ole Mopar ATF +4. IT's good stuff. I buy it by the gallon at the local dealer and just request they discount it...which they usually will.

It is already synthetic. I drain, change the trans filter, and refill every 20K.

I use mopar fluid from dealer. I get it free

I used amsoil in my Ford. Never had any trouble, shifted great with no problems. I used it for maybe 60k.

I've been using Amsoil tranny fluid for quite awhile now... all good so far, no issues.

Anyone know how many QTS/Gals the 48RE holds? I can't seen to find it.

SCCSURF 01-04-2009 06:03 PM

I'm can't find out how much oil the 48RE holds. Anyone shed some light?

justsayer06 01-04-2009 06:25 PM

Search opie parts and my buddy works at the dealer so when i swapped trans i took 4 5qt containers and they donated it

I have a manual trans and just want to report that I do not get a noticiable difference with Amsoil vs. Mopar. I can get the MOPAR genuine stuff at Wal mart...

I would use Amsoils Super Shift, ONLY in a full time racer. I would not put it in a Daily Driver. It's designed for no clutch face slippage and for very hard, firm shifts. I suspect that less than full throttle shifts would not be pleasent.
I use the other Amsoil .... 'ATF' .... and have for 150,000 miles. Love it and it meets ATF+4 specs. Smooth shifts, at track and on the street.... and excellent summer time protection against high temps.

Capacity - My deep dish Mag Hy-Tec pan (4 qts extra) takes 12 qts to change every 20,000 miles (when racing)..... BUT, I only drain the pan. I don't mess with draining the tq. converter. Hence replacing only 60% but doing it more often. Much easier. :)
