I mixed that same Amsoil atf in a Toyota/scion FRS with around 40k miles and shifting improved. (Did it twice at about a month difference to have mostly Amsoil in). Moved on to mix 5q Amsoil into a 2015 sienna trans with about 45k miles. It is working smoothly. Plan on keep adding Amsoil in the future. Did it many years ago on two other vehicles with great long term results.

Good stuff. I just got a Vibe (09 with 127k miles). The fluid is brown with a red hue still that turns purple after a long drive. Shifting is fine aside from some jerkiness when the fluid is cold. I'm just surprised how many mechanics told me to let it be, because the history doesn't show any transmission fluid change. It seems that I'm maybe 10k miles away from having damage with the old fluid.
@s.garabet16775 күн бұрын
You are correct about leaving a little dirty oil in the trans. I just watched a Toyota tech claim it was good to leave a little in because it’ll add a little friction fir the plates to grab😛😛 Unfortunately I was led to believe that my 3rd gen Tacoma could go 150,000 miles before the trans fluid needed changing. I felt that didn’t seem right. Today my truck was at 78,000 on its first fluid swap. It was dark and no surprise since I live in the so called mountains and carry a couple of tons in the truck bed driving up the mountain once a month. Today I put in 3.5 quarts of Amsoil fuel signature series and bled the 1/2 quart out. I noticed an immediate improvement. I’ll run this for one month and do a 3 quart drain and fill to get it close to mostly Amsoil and I’ll repeat this in another 10,000 miles.

There is always some mixing that is going to happen. It is difficult to get all of the old fluid out. It is inside the valve body still and I don't know of any modern cars with a torque converter you can drain. Yes, some vehicles had that sort of thing. They would have a drain plug on the torque converter that if lined up with a special hole you could remove the plug and drain that fluid. Without it your only way to get rid of the old fluid is a potentially harmful flush or draining and filling twice, running the vehicle some in between both drain and fills (or you will just drain the new fluid you added if you don't ☹. You can do more than 2 drain and fills and that may change out some more old fluid. That also drains out some new fluid that has become mixed in. You may even want to take the pan off if you are careful enough not to damage it in any way and clean it out. Some transmissions can leave it needing cleaned out very badly. Don't forget to clean those magnets if you took the pan off. You will not get every last nit of metal off them but you can make them better than they were. Some vehicles have such horrible transmissions they need all the help they can get to last a long enough time.

So l was wondering if l can buy Maxlife ATF (it meets Hyundai SP-4M spec) two 1 gallon jugs. Drain and fill with both, then on the last fill use amsoil. Two jugs of maxlife is the price of one jug of amsoil. I fugure l can get an extra drain and fill ensuring newer fluid. My guess is by the third fill it would be half maxlife and half amsoil. Would that be a bad thing? Or should l just buy 2 jugs of amsoil and just settle for 2 drain and fills instead of 3?

Bad idea mixing amsoil atf with valvoline on 3rd drain and fill. Either use valvoline or amsoil, but not mixing. Amsoil atf cost more because it's a quality fluid, and quality comes with the cost. There is a reason why you choose sonata and not chevy Malibu or Ford fusion.

@@repairvehicle I used valvoline max life atf in my old 98' f-150 just to get the old transmission fluid out at 60k, but it was 23 years old. Thankfully I can drop the pan, and I even have a drain bolt on my torque converter so I get nearly all the fluid out that way. Then I replaced about half of it with amsoil 2k miles later. It shifted better after the valvoline, but much better even after the amsoil, I use amsoil in all my vehicles. The next time I should have it all changed out with amsoil. Valvoline is a cheap way of getting old fluid out, and is not bad trans fluid. Better to have half valvoline new fluid with amsoil, than half old fluid and half amsoil. Remember that with drain and fills, you waste some new fluid after the first time. First drain may get 25% new. The next one is a 25/75 mix, so that 25% now affects only the 75% left, now when you drain and fill you get another 18.75% out. now you have about a 44% new/56% old. The next drain and fill only gets an additional 14% out. After 3 drain and fills, you have about 58% new/ 42% old. If you use the cheaper valvoline on the first couple of fills, you end up with much less old fluid in the car. Please correct my math if I am wrong.

@@repairvehicle unfortunately that model doesn’t have dipstick anyway i will be changing the filter and gasket as well and there’s a small plastic pipe that will drop whatever is more while pushing the new oil from down. But the main point for me is the car need to be cold or normal and shall i add first 2 liters and start the engine for 15 minutes then stop and drain the full amount to add the new oil. There are many stories to prevent any issue after changing oil.

To drain atf car should be called. Adding fluid and checking fluid requires special processes, I don't know how it should be done on Mercedes. If you have drain plug and fill plug. You can add same amount of atf as came out, however it's not going to be correct. Why, because atf evaporates.

Drain and fill is sufficient. But would do couple drain and fills so that you more of fresh fluid. Filter is not necessary at this mileage. Exception if you have external inline filter then replace it

This is the video I was looking for since I'm planning on doing the Drain/Fill on my 2010 Toyota 4Runner that has only 43k miles my mom drives the truck too and only just local distance and I sometime take it out to highway when I go to work. Thank you again for sharing!
did you did it my friend? I want to do this so and how did you did it. 12' runner
I loved it in my 98' 4runner I had until 225k and my GX470 has loved it for about 50k, it now has 170k.
I mixed that same Amsoil atf in a Toyota/scion FRS with around 40k miles and shifting improved. (Did it twice at about a month difference to have mostly Amsoil in). Moved on to mix 5q Amsoil into a 2015 sienna trans with about 45k miles. It is working smoothly. Plan on keep adding Amsoil in the future. Did it many years ago on two other vehicles with great long term results.
Thank you for sharing your experience with amsoil. It definitely makes difference.
Good stuff. I just got a Vibe (09 with 127k miles). The fluid is brown with a red hue still that turns purple after a long drive. Shifting is fine aside from some jerkiness when the fluid is cold. I'm just surprised how many mechanics told me to let it be, because the history doesn't show any transmission fluid change. It seems that I'm maybe 10k miles away from having damage with the old fluid.
You are correct about leaving a little dirty oil in the trans. I just watched a Toyota tech claim it was good to leave a little in because it’ll add a little friction fir the plates to grab😛😛 Unfortunately I was led to believe that my 3rd gen Tacoma could go 150,000 miles before the trans fluid needed changing. I felt that didn’t seem right. Today my truck was at 78,000 on its first fluid swap. It was dark and no surprise since I live in the so called mountains and carry a couple of tons in the truck bed driving up the mountain once a month. Today I put in 3.5 quarts of Amsoil fuel signature series and bled the 1/2 quart out. I noticed an immediate improvement. I’ll run this for one month and do a 3 quart drain and fill to get it close to mostly Amsoil and I’ll repeat this in another 10,000 miles.
thx for the explanation last year, I mixed the both OWM toyota and Amsoil ATF sign it is Ok✌️
Really? How you feel about that Toyota and amosil mixing. It is very smoothly and better than OEM factory fluid?
Had a jerking/hesitating transmission on a 170km 2010 Rav4. Did a drain and fill with 2quarts of Amsoil ATF and fixed my 13yr old transmission like magic. I’m a believer.

Been doing that since 63,000 on the ODO, not with Amsoil, but with Federated ATF, no issue. But I'll be going to Amsoil ATF before winter, did the switch to Amsoil Signature 5W-30 for the engine with Lucas Synthetic Stabilizer, best switch I've made for my car. 2016 Malibu 1.5T, still has the original timing chain
lucas is causing major problems to your engine. You taking perfectly formulated oil and diluting with unknown chemicals that have not been proved to provide any benefits.
I’m about to change the transmission fluid in my daughters 2008 Beetle.
Just changed my trans fluid with Amsoil CVT fluid in my 2019 Mitusbishi Outlander Sport GT 2.4 liter engine. Did a drain and fill @ 60k. I actually changed the cooler filter (paper one) and the under pan filter (metal) at 55k as my car is used and didn't know what was done to it. Anyway, after the change it's much quieter and smoother and I just changed the fluid 1k ago (OEM J4) when I replaced the filters. Next change in 30Ka with Amsoil!
Great video. Very informative.
Thank you!
There is always some mixing that is going to happen. It is difficult to get all of the old fluid out. It is inside the valve body still and I don't know of any modern cars with a torque converter you can drain. Yes, some vehicles had that sort of thing. They would have a drain plug on the torque converter that if lined up with a special hole you could remove the plug and drain that fluid. Without it your only way to get rid of the old fluid is a potentially harmful flush or draining and filling twice, running the vehicle some in between both drain and fills (or you will just drain the new fluid you added if you don't ☹. You can do more than 2 drain and fills and that may change out some more old fluid. That also drains out some new fluid that has become mixed in. You may even want to take the pan off if you are careful enough not to damage it in any way and clean it out. Some transmissions can leave it needing cleaned out very badly. Don't forget to clean those magnets if you took the pan off. You will not get every last nit of metal off them but you can make them better than they were. Some vehicles have such horrible transmissions they need all the help they can get to last a long enough time.

I am getting ready to change the fluid in my 2017 Mazda 3 at 72K. I was really glad to find your video -- because Scotty Kilmer says to NEVER mix ATF and ALWAYS use the factory OEM fluid. I get the strong suspicion that he is just playing it safe -- because he caters to a lot of people that know nothing about cars -- and those people should NEVER try to select an alternative on their own,
How did it go? is it going?
@@AbrasiveJay It went fine for the first 3.5 quarts -- I could actually feel the transmission shift smoother & quicker -- but I thought it was perfectly fine before the change. I was only doing it for maintenance reasons & was surprised that I could feel an improvement. Soon I'll do it another 2 times, along with a filter change, and I should have pretty much 90% newish Amsoil.
@@geeder9086 Yea I got quoted on a rebuild for my 6l50 5500.00$ So next option would be a Service with my own fluid and a new transmission filter. putting amsoil in it but doing this leaves 3.4 quarts in the torque converter. Thus mixing 6 quarts of amsoil with OEM fluid. So I bought 12 quarts. wonder if the Service guy will do it twice just to try and flush the torque converter of the OEM Fluid. also looking into a Throttle Control Pedal Commander. I hate the Adaptive throttle lag.
@@AbrasiveJay Will he do it? Some won't because they don't want to get blamed if they think your trans may fail right after. Have you tried to reset the A/T programming with a relearn??? It's not as simple as disconnecting the battery -- that won't do anything to relearn the A/T.

Great video. I have a 2015 F350 V8 6.7L Diesel. Looking to switch from Mercon LV to Amsoil signature series fuel efficient ATF. Plan on completely removing the Mercon LV (flush). Any issues with compatibility between these two? P.S. mileage at about 120000 and don't think ATF has ever been changed.
No issues with compatibility. It works great on my 2013 f150; it shifts better. Doing it yourself or taking it to the shop for flush?
I have comment from another 6.7 powerstroke owner who was using Amsoil engine oil, got over 500k miles without engine repairs. However, he didn't maintain transmission and ended up replacing two times at least.
@@repairvehicle Ok, ok, I am convinced :-). Scratch my comment about (flush), watched your other video about not flushing. After seeing your other video am just replacing what is in the transmission pan (plus filter change). 1. drain old ATF, filter 2. replace with new Amsoil. 3. Drive around a bit and repeat 1 more time. That sound like a good plan based on my original vehicle description above?
Quickly ran the numbers and if I change the ATF from the pan twice like this I end up with roughly 26.3% old fluid remaining and 73.7% new fluid in the transmission. calcs based on total volume of 16.7 quarts total, and 8.1 quarts removed from pan (these are the numbers in the book). Will measure to see how close it is.
Yes. Very good plan
I'm torn on what to do. I understand the factory ATF fluid that came in my 2022 Tacoma is only semi-synthetic and not full synthetic. So I agree that it should make sense to change it to full synthetic ATF fluid like Amsoil. But.........there are some master diagnostic Toyota technicians that don't like the idea of mixing. (Doing a drain and fill and having some Amoils and some factory). Some say stick to only OEM fluid for drain and fills. But do you think they are wrong and they can mix? (not foam, etc).
They are wrong. I have shown in this video results from analysis of mixing Amsoil with ws. I been using Amsoil atf for almost 8 in my Toyota sequoia and Lexus es350. I keep my vehicle for long time.
@@repairvehicle Okay thanks. I ask because my ability/method would be drain and refill the exact amount that comes out. (Drain and fill doesn't get it all out so it would be mixed).
I had a 2017 Honda Pilot, the dealership told me the same thing. You can't mix other transmission fluid, only Honda ATF-DW1. They would tell me 3X drain & fill and every time I drain the fluid was brownish. After 108K miles, I decided to switch to Amsoil Fuel-efficient tranny fluid. Almost immediately, I notice a smoother shift. After 300 miles, I notice that I was getting more MPG, was average 20.9mpg before and 22.2mpg after Amsoil. After a month, I check the fluid and it was still pinkish, never with ATF-DW1. I am a believer of Amsoil product now!
One thing I wanted to ask...would you recommend putting an transmission cooler on a 2020 Tundra as toyota stopped putting those on in 2019? Some say that the resulting higher temps degrade the fluid quicker and may make the transmission life much shorter. I only have 12K on mine so far but am planning on switching to amsoil at 20K.
It depends, if you are planning to keep truck past warranty then yes, I recommend. If don't keep your truck past warranty, then it's like maybe not worth. Watch this video with and without cooler kzhead.info/sun/jKpriZyMj6lvbGg/bejne.html

I have a question about drain and fills since we're talking about mixing fluids. I just did one on my '15 Sonata 65k miles. Only 4qt in a 7.9 capacity. I want to get as much new fluid in as possible. So l was wondering if l can buy Maxlife ATF (it meets Hyundai SP-4M spec) two 1 gallon jugs. Drain and fill with both, then on the last fill use amsoil. Two jugs of maxlife is the price of one jug of amsoil. I fugure l can get an extra drain and fill ensuring newer fluid. My guess is by the third fill it would be half maxlife and half amsoil. Would that be a bad thing? Or should l just buy 2 jugs of amsoil and just settle for 2 drain and fills instead of 3?
Bad idea mixing amsoil atf with valvoline on 3rd drain and fill. Either use valvoline or amsoil, but not mixing. Amsoil atf cost more because it's a quality fluid, and quality comes with the cost. There is a reason why you choose sonata and not chevy Malibu or Ford fusion.
@@repairvehicle that makes sense, I'll just stick to amsoil drain and fill.
@@repairvehicle I used valvoline max life atf in my old 98' f-150 just to get the old transmission fluid out at 60k, but it was 23 years old. Thankfully I can drop the pan, and I even have a drain bolt on my torque converter so I get nearly all the fluid out that way. Then I replaced about half of it with amsoil 2k miles later. It shifted better after the valvoline, but much better even after the amsoil, I use amsoil in all my vehicles. The next time I should have it all changed out with amsoil. Valvoline is a cheap way of getting old fluid out, and is not bad trans fluid. Better to have half valvoline new fluid with amsoil, than half old fluid and half amsoil. Remember that with drain and fills, you waste some new fluid after the first time. First drain may get 25% new. The next one is a 25/75 mix, so that 25% now affects only the 75% left, now when you drain and fill you get another 18.75% out. now you have about a 44% new/56% old. The next drain and fill only gets an additional 14% out. After 3 drain and fills, you have about 58% new/ 42% old. If you use the cheaper valvoline on the first couple of fills, you end up with much less old fluid in the car. Please correct my math if I am wrong.
@@neal8720 , when doing drain and fill there is no wasted fluid. Old fluid out new fluid in. When you drain fluid, you are removing only 1/4 of the fluid from the pan. 4 drain and 4 fill get you about 100% fluid replaced. Mixing Amsoil atf with Valvoline not good idea because you will never benefit 100% from Amsoil atf.

I appreciate your support adding this video. My question is the correct way to change my transmission fluid to amsoil same one in the video. My car doesn’t have Torque Converter drain plug so i will be able to change almost 5.5 litters maximum out of the 12 litter. The car is Mercedes w211 2005 E500 v8 M113 engine and transmission is 7g tronic 722.9 the one use 236.14 MB. Appreciate your time reading my comment 🙏🙏
Do you have transmission dipstick? What is the mileage on the car?
@@repairvehicle unfortunately that model doesn’t have dipstick anyway i will be changing the filter and gasket as well and there’s a small plastic pipe that will drop whatever is more while pushing the new oil from down. But the main point for me is the car need to be cold or normal and shall i add first 2 liters and start the engine for 15 minutes then stop and drain the full amount to add the new oil. There are many stories to prevent any issue after changing oil.
To drain atf car should be called. Adding fluid and checking fluid requires special processes, I don't know how it should be done on Mercedes. If you have drain plug and fill plug. You can add same amount of atf as came out, however it's not going to be correct. Why, because atf evaporates.
@@repairvehicle okay man thanks alot really appreciate your support 🙏🙏

Hey man. I have an 07 Acura TL Type S with 240k miles. Ive notnchanged the fluid since i bought the car with 90k miles on it. Mechanic said dont change the trans fluid but i checked the dipstick and fluid isnt dark/burnt at all. Its light brown/amber color. Should i still aboid changing the fluid? Or go ahead and change?
Very good question. Honda/Acura is known for transmission failure after transmission flush. Drain and fill can be done, however there is risk that transmission might not work properly due to excessive wear on the transmission already happened due to lack of transmission fluid change
I have 2010 Dodge Charger RT 5.7L NAG1 Trans 70,600 miles, would you recommend me to replace the Trans fluid? (I dont have problems with shifting, I am the second owner of the car)
Yes, replaced it. Fluid at point is junk, you not going to feel because transmission automatically adjust pressure to compensate for old fluid.
I recently bought a 2007 Honda CRV. It burns a litre of oil every 650 kl. I believe the reason for this is that the previous owners of this car changed the oil every year or 10K klm. How can I improve this situation without changing the engine or doing a rebuild? It has 219K klm. Thanks George

Hybrid? V6? Mileage?
@@repairvehicle non hybrid. i4 . 140k miles. I have changed the fluid and filter last year OEM
@emadalkahroosi for one drain and fill, I believe 3 quarts if I not mistaken.
@@repairvehicle ok thanks
You should be getting a check from amsoil...i bought their CvT fluid because of ur last video. I have a question...does this “its is to mix” philosophy apply to the CVT’s as well? I have a 2012 Nissan Maxima
I don't understand your question
@@repairvehicle is it ok to mix AMSOIL with what ever factory Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid that's in the vehicle...I haven't ever changed my CVT fluid and I have 70k miles on the car....I was going to do a drain and fill with amsoil CVT fluid....maybe even twice this summer to make sure i get the most factory Nissan NS-2 fluid out of there as possible
It's OK to mix amsoil cvt atf with factory oem cvt atf .
short story you can mix or better use factory oil at shorten interval or use compatible fluid if factory fluid is costly
Why factory oil?
