Comments: AMSOIL MTF, I have never once experienced a 3rd gear pop-out or lock-out since I switched 37,000 miles and 2 winters ago. Shifting effort greatly improved. At 37,000 miles, I feel some slight notchiness returning and will swap some new AMSOIL MTF fluid in. I bought a 6-month AMSOIL membership, which gives you wholesale pricing. I bought 2 quarts of MTF and 4 gallons (16 quarts) of AMSOIL SSO 0w30 at the same time, which saved me about $50 over buying all that at retail pricing.
