ATF cooler with ''Snake Oil''
This err Snake oil is Good stuff. (AKA LubeGuard Red)
I am a believer in not knocking something until you have tried it and without trying it you can't put forward a subjective opinion.
After the steep climbs in the Pyrenees last year and the ATF light making a bright appearance several times, I looked into an extra ATF cooler.
But with talking to professional auto transmission people it was recommended that I add LubeGuard Red to the fluid.
Drained all the fluid, refilled with new and added the LubeGuard Red.
The difference was remarkable to say the least........Smooth gear changes no knocks or clonks. Took the truck to a local steep climb The Burway and popped it in 2nd gear and put my foot down all the way up. Now before when I was three quarters of the way up the ATF light would make an appearance this time no light. Turned round and did it again still no light.
Now this may well be Snake Oil or the dripping from a rocking horse's nose but it works well.
I can cast this opinion because I have tried it, and I would recommend it.
Anyone tried Slip 50 engine oil additive or the likes of I would be glad to hear from someone who has tried it.
