After fitting an auto cooler today and finding my oil pretty much black ill probably do a full change in the next few weeks.
Are any brands of auto fluid better than others or should i just get whatever is cheaper? Cheers, Phil |

I don't myself, but if I did, I would just ensure that the fluid meets the factory specs. All the best with it. GK |

95LE Ford 4-speed auto fluid is the only "type" of fluid that should be used.
Brand ... well ... everytime I get mine done at Crescent Motorsport ... they always use Gulf Western in the plastic drums ... that's the only brand I have ever used.

I did a full service on mine when put in stall and cooler and used the castrol TQ95 and mines a BTR97 but their all the same, or you can use the full sythetic one which i think from mem is called transmax z its in a silver bottle but costs heaps, just service more offen i say.

One thing i did notice is that with my shift kit now even on the lowest shift its still smooth but quick whereas before it was a bit rough and my oil was still red but must have broken down, oh and first gear whine is almost impossible to hear but i did a complete dryfill. hope it helps.
