PIZZA ROLLS ![8D]


oh um yeah, have a shop use the machine and 16 quarts to flush it. Royal purple is indeed top quality !





Max ATF® is a synthetic, high performance, long life, multipurpose, automatic transmission fluid. It's more oxidation stable than other transmission fluids for a longer fluid life. Max ATF's low co-efficient of friction and high film strength help to dramatically reduce heat and wear. Automatic transmissions generate a great deal of heat and depend on the transmission fluid for cooling and protection. More than 90 percent of all automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating.* A drop of 20°F in fluid temperature can double the life of the transmission.* Max ATF® significantly reduces heat to extend the life of your transmission and is recommended for all automatic transmissions requiring Ford Mercon® or GM Dexron® III transmission fluids. Max ATF® is fully compatible and can be mixed with other automatic transmission fluids; however, for the best results drain or flush the current oil and then fill with Max ATF®. Try Royal Purple® today and Feel the Difference! *Source: Perma Industries Inc.

If you havent done it regularly then alot of shops wont do it anyways. I work at Jiffy Lube as Lower Bay Mechanic and if the trans hasnt been flushed regularly I wont flush it because it always makes the trans have problems. I get people in all day long wanting to flush there trans and they've never done it before and then I ask how many miles on the car and there always like over 100K.

wait a sec..you're going to flush it using royal purple? Man, you must be rich! That's gonna be about $160 for the fliud alone, LoL.

Maybe I'm just cheap, but I'd rather flush it using the generic crap and then when I get home, change the fluid again and then add the royal purple.
