OP qokuh CEG\'er Q Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 77	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

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

Thanks also you'll want to know that when using synthetic, you're basically maintaining the tranny more than improving it, just my 2cents. 1998 Mercury Mystique LS - Looking for SVT EXHAUST, SVT Rear bumper (silver frost) and ANY rocker mouldings (side skirts)
