Hey fellas Ive been reading along and I am awaiting a result as far as the FM is concerned. I am and have been using this along with Mobil 1 with FM for a long time. I think its time for me to get some input here maybe to light up some ideas or whatnot.
-First off, I dont feel that we should be bashing certain transmision fluid users for the choices that they make.
-Second off, we cant just look at what trannys have failed because of MTL. We need to find out how manny trannys have failed period amongst CEG. I learned this in science, my teacher told me in order to get more accurate results there needs to be more specimins or variables.
-Third off, Why cant we test the chemical/metal reaction between the stock differential and the oils. I remember when I switched from my stock diff to my Quaife I had alot of wear on some teeth and I could chip off metal shavings with my fingernail. I dont believe I changed the fluid since I bought the car but I know for sure it was regular ATF per previous owner.
-As far as the fluid changing color its bound to happen I mean the tranny heats up causing friction and heat, changing the way the fluid interacts with the inside and causing wear. You guys cant expect to put in a red liquid and get the same color liquid when you are ready to change the fluid. There would be no need to ever buy fluid again in those cases.
I understand why people stand behind their product MTL because its loyalty to what they are comfortable with or fits their needs. But we need to remember that MTL is an aftermarket product and may not always be intended for all makes and model vehicles. example. I cant buy a universal honda supercharger and put it on my contour its not made for it, but its universal for all honda applications you get my drift. 2nd reffering to the FM now. Ford is known to makes mistakes and keep them quiet in order not to get in trouble. Well maybe they realized that the FM was causing breakdown in the case and had "Ford Honey" produced to surpass the quality of the FM and slowly remove it from the shelves without many people noticing. It happens everywhere. I tried to buy some piaa superwhites for my fog lights and Piaa told me that they are discontinued and the new replacement is the starwhite light. Same bulb, improved color, whole new name.
Dont flame me for my comments and views I just dont want you guys getting out of control and leading the thread to be locked. This is a very informative thread since the very first few posts and its only getting better. Lets work together and see what we get.
