I was thinking about doing this... what is you opinion on using the Red Line ATF for this vs what you bought?
My opinion is: I don't think it matters....but the only data point I had was the M1 closely matched the oem fluid.
it sure gets dirty!
You gonna eat out of those bowls?
I should probably change my fluid...
Since you switched over to the M1 Snthetic has it progressed in leaking anywhere?
I am worried that switcing to a synthetic for here after being only regular ATF that it will speed up the leaking from my p/s hoses. I have flushed it once a few years ago and was planing on doing it again this summer, I think I used the regular Castrol ATF last time.
I changed it 2 days ago.... And I changed it around 100k miles. After ~50k miles... I did not develope any leaks whatsoever.
I did same on TiAg. It did not produce leaks after doing it. Do you have data on this?

I was relaying back to the same issue from taking a car that was run with regular oil all its life then changing to synthetic. Usually it can and will develope oil leaks. I had this happen with a few of my cars and then a few shops said that its not good to change over from regular oil to synthetic after a long time of using regular.
My A6, and 88 subaru leaked so bad when I changed to a full synthetic.
