Royal Purple

jblood37 · November 28th, 2007, 07:33 PM

So does this stuff make that much difference? I want to put it in my stang, but a little pricey. I do work at a place where I can get a transmission flush for nothing. Should I do that then replace fluid with Royal Purple? And is it the max atf that I need? My car is a 2000 gt automatic.

ATF is what you need and RP is a great brand 5.5 Quarts

I have no idea if it is true so I would appreciate a yea or nea, but I read on another forum that pure synthetic transmission fluid like Royal Purple would actually hurt your transmission. They said it causes a deterioration of the synchronizers and that Ford and other transmission builders were recommending a non-synthetic fluid.

HMUSN · November 28th, 2007, 08:32 PM

no.

lol

the only think I can think of is doing a swap to full synthetic when you have high miles.

it could cause things to leak

mattstang · November 28th, 2007, 08:35 PM

what about those flushes that suck the atf out of you dipstick tube.

i dont trust em. thats an inlet not an outlet.

HMUSN · November 28th, 2007, 08:46 PM

HMUSN · November 28th, 2007, 08:52 PM

HMUSN · November 28th, 2007, 09:02 PM

oh ok.

I am not sure what the auto's make.

good catch

JaxnsGT · November 28th, 2007, 09:09 PM

so for my 5 speed buy 6 quarts of royal purple ATF and 3 bottles of royal purple gear oil....what weight?

HMUSN · November 28th, 2007, 09:10 PM

Royal Purple Max Gear 75w90 Gear Oil

and yes 6 quarts

jblood37 · November 29th, 2007, 10:34 AM

Do I need to get a flush? I've heard that when you just drain fluid, you don't get the fluid out of the torque converter. I would think it would be bad to leave a little of my stock fluid in there and mix it with royal purple. Does anyone know how many quarts I need, since mine's an automatic?

chris1 · November 29th, 2007, 10:38 AM

if youre going to flush the system completely i think you need like 12-14

jblood37 · November 29th, 2007, 10:56 AM

Is a flush harmful at all?

chris1 · November 29th, 2007, 10:59 AM

I highly doubt that removing old worn out trans fluid is considered harmful. Especially when you'll be putting in oil that'll keep it running smooth and maybe cooler
