Has anyone used Z-Max in their automatic trans,looking for some positive feeedback or any advice.Thank you

 

The BEST thing for your transmission is the proper fluid and keep it clean. No additives to gum-up the works

x2.

 

That Amsoil is some kind of miracle mix. I can't believe my tranny is still doing it.

Don't go cheap on fluid. Use spec or better.

 

^^^X2 with the Amsoil..It's about the best there is out there..As jbrew says. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for.

 

Thank you all very much.

 

Thanks evryone i will take the advice,transmission is fine with 117000 miles just want to be prepared,wanna see how long i can make this truck last,it runs great no problems it s a FORD nuff said.

 

The only tranny additive I could find any evidence of dozens of car owners claiming it to actually fix there shifting problems is Trans X.

My 99 f 150 had been slipping 2-3 for at least a year. Drained the pan , added mobil 1 synthetic , a new filter , and a 32oz bottle of Trans x. Two days later it was shifting like new again , and has continued to shift like new for 4 months now.

 

When I looked into Z-Max I discovered it is nothing more than mineral oil, not sure if that is good for anything.

 

What I would do: At your next change: Get yourself a prefered Amsoil membership for 10 bucks, buy their 2.5 gallon jug of transmission fluid + 4 quarts. It will tally at 8 something a quart + shipping.

Or find a local Amsoil dealer and buy it there.

Do a complete flush --- no partials.

Drive 60k and repeat. It won't cost a dime more than changing out conventional @ 30k.

Research this in the site here, and find it out. Mobile One(synthetic) or Amsoil reallly is the best insurance/investment for the transmission.

It really depends on your philosophy; how long you want to keep it before you sell it.

Me, I drove an '87 Ford till 2004. And my car from '92 to 2006.

I'm in an '02 now and I plan to drive it for a looooong time.
