Lots of late model manual transmissions take ATF. The reason is that the ATF
is light wieght, thus easier to spin around, so it saves fuel as compared to
other oils. The ATF also has a very high sheer strength, and this makes it a
good choice in a transmission.

This truck specifically calls for ATF in the manual transmission, so the
suggestion is not really as dopey as you might think.

| Please stop spamming this newsgroup. Otherwise, will report to your
ISP.


I'm not sure I understand... someone is complaining that they can't
seem to find the corrrect fluid (Mercon V) for their transmission.
Further, he complains that he spent over an hour at his local Ford
dealer with the parts people unsure of what to recommend.

I offer a compatible product at a competitive price and somehow I'm
branded as a spammer. I thought SPAMMING was repetitively posting OFF
TOPIC posts. I am neither posting repetitive or off topic posts.

You may contact AMSOIL at: http://www.amsoil.com/contact.aspx and
leave any complaints you feel are appropriate. My dealer number is:
1690163.

Please include a copy of the posting to support your position.

Spamming includes unwanted and unsolicited advertising, such as yours.
Just the fact that you're "offering" your product here (your words, not
mine) is unwanted commercial advertising. Take it somewhere else. Those
of us who read Usenet do so because of the torrent of ads present in other
venues. Stop advertising here.

"AMSOIL ATF is recommended for transmission, hydraulic and other
applications requiring any of the following specifications:
GM DEXRON® II, III & VI
Ford MERCON®, MERCON® V & SP
Chrysler ATF+ through ATF+4®
Honda Z-1 (Not for use in CVT transmissions)
Toyota Type T and T-IV
Mitsubishi/Hyundai Diamond SP II & III
Allison C-3, C-4
Caterpillar TO-2
Voith G607, G1363
ZF TE-ML 14A, 14B, 14C
Mercedes Benz 236.1, 236.2, 236.6, 236.7, 236.9
BMW 7045E
NAG 1 & 2
JWS 3309
LT 71141 (ESSO)
Nissan Matic D, J & K
Vickers I-286S & M-2950S"

It is IMPOSSIBLE for one single ATF to service all of those applications.

You have no proof that your product is compatible.

The only way your posts would be -on topic- is if the name of this group

Direct Quote taken from the TRANSMISSIONS Section of the AMSOIL
website:

https://www.amsoil.com/redirect.cgi?zo=1690163&page=frequent

Problem: AMSOIL INC. has been informed that some AMSOIL Dealers and
their customers have experienced problems with their local Ford
Dealership service department when bringing in the new AMSOIL
Universal ATF for installation in their Ford vehicle transmission.
They have been told that: A) You cannot put a Mercon V labeled
transmission fluid in a Mercon application. B) That you cannot put a
Mercon labeled transmission fluid in a Mercon V application (this is
true). C) That you cannot put a dual usage labeled ATF product in the
Mercon application or the Mercon V application. Since the new AMSOIL
Universal Transmission Fluid is labeled dual usage, recommended for
both Mercon and Mercon V applications, some Ford Dealership service
managers are telling their customers that if they put the AMSOIL
Universal ATF product in their transmission it will void their
transmission warranty.

Answer: At least one oil companys ATF product with a Mercon V rating
does not also meet Mercon performance requirements. This has
apparently caused a great deal of confusion about allowing Mercon V
ATF to be back serviceable in Mercon applications. The AMSOIL
Universal ATF has been formulated to meet or exceed both the Mercon
and Mercon V specification, as well as G.M. Dexron III and Chrysler
ATF+4. It is fully supported through documented testing. It is
recommended for and can be used in ALL of the applications listed on
the label. PERIOD.

If someone is misinformed on this issue and actually denies a
manufacturers warranty coverage because of the use of AMSOIL Universal
ATF Fluid in one of the applications for which it is recommended by
AMSOIL INC., the AMSOIL Warranty coverage would apply. The consumers
transmission would be repaired under the AMSOIL Warranty. AMSOIL
INC. and our insurance company will legally pursue the dealership or
the manufacturer to recover our costs. AMSOIL INC. would not make the
recommendations on our label, or issue this statement, if we were not
completely confident of our position on this matter. While we cannot
control what individuals say about this subject, we can and do insure
that consumers can use our product with complete confidence and
without risk.

So, let me get this straight, your answer to the challenge that no ATF
can service all of those applications, is:

"It's on the web site, so it must be true".

Yup, that's pretty convincing. NOT.
