    It has nothing at all to do with any AFT being, "too good". There are no drawbacks associated with any lubricant being superior. He's not lying. He's wrong,as every source I have given quoted has proven. Don't trust people who are wrong. That's just not logical.

    1998 DX 1.8 -A/C Leak on Passenger Side Floor

    Yowza! That is one expensive repair quote! When you say you are using an air compressor to try and clean it out, (good idea!), how much air pressure are we talking about? Do you mean an air hose meant to inflate 18-wheeler tires, or the air compressor that plugs into your Corolla's cigarette...

    Just to let you know Carlile, I cancelled an important appointment I had today in order to stay here and try to help you out. I'm also late picking up my fiance from her job. If you were closer to me, I'd change your transmission fluid for you at no labor charge, as I do with all my...

    My point is not in sending a sample of ATF to a laboratory to have it tested. My point is that merely a visual inspection and stating the fluid is good, or old, or whatever, (unless it is burned and black as ink), is simply not valid. This is why, in some states an auto center recommending a...

    This is what happens to automatic transmissions as temperatures increase. Using a quality synthetic ATF can reduce those temperatures and also be much more resistant to high temperatures than a petroleum ATF. As the chart below shows, this can greatly extend transmission life. How much is...

    Tell ya what Carlile, you think I'm not telling you the truth, (rather insulting), so call the experts and discuss this technical topic with them - AMSOIL Technical Services Department -> 1-715-399-8324 Mobil 1 Technical Services Department -> 1-800-662-4525 Red Line Technical Services...

    Carlile - I'm trying to do you a favor. I'm sharing my experience and knowledge with you so you can benefit from that. I don't make one red penny of retail profit here from any Corolla Forum member and if any of my customers happen to be reading this, they can attest to that fact. I am an...

    Between a respected oil analysis laboratory with highly educated laboratory oil analysis technicians using multimillion dollars worth of equipment vs. an untrained individual doing some kind of visual inspection, personally I'll take the oil analysis laboratory every time. :thumbsup::yes:

    carlile82 - There's no other way to say this than, what you were told is 100%, flat-out wrong. I'm not saying they are dishonest. I'm saying they are wrong. No, synthetic oil molecules are not smaller than petroleum molecules. Petroleum oil molecules are a hodgepodge of random sized...

    There is no way to conclude if ATF is good or not, or how old it is or not, just by looking at it. Visually, the viscosity can't be checked, the additive package can't be checked, any contaminants can't be checked. To do this requires the services of an oil analysis laboratory using...

    carlile92- That gentleman doesn't know that synthetic lubricants are no thinner or thicker than petroleum lubricants. For example, a 10W-30 viscosity is a 10W-30 viscosity and is no thinner or thicker than petroleum oils. He may know how to install transmissions and turn wrenches like an...

    2009 - Should I Change the Oil?

    Why did you reduce the oil drain intervals? Even low level petroleum oils are now formulated for 5,000 mile oil drain intervals.

    Every single, "Drive Works", part I've seen is stamped, "Made in China". Moog is a suspension industry standard. Their quality is second to none.
