What has your experience been with the Mobil 1 syn. tranny fluid, and the Ford honey fluid? Trying to decide between the two. How much is the Mobil 1? And do I just go to an autoparts store and ask for Mobil 1 for MTXs, or is there is something specific I should look for? I want a synthethic because it is a pain to shift in the cold. A thinner fluid may help me.

Thanks

Search and read the 'Tranny Drain/Fill How-To', there is a crap-ton of discussions about this topic.

Ok, I decided and after reading some fourms I am going to go with the Royal Purple. People in Michigan and the colder states seem to be a fan of it. Is Royal Purple a syn. though? When I go to purchase it do I just ask for, 'Royal Purple manual trans fluid for a 99CSVT'?

As soon as this is answered a will go and get it.

Thanks

also you'll want to know that when using synthetic, you're basically maintaining the tranny more than improving it,

just my 2cents.
