Amsoil MTF was HORRIBLE!!! I switched to Redline and my transmission works flawlessly. I'm putting down 303whp and 260wtq and my tranny is perfect. I was having serious 3rd gear popout and engagement problems along with some 2nd gear grinding. I went with the Redline stuff and all the problems were instantly fixed. I also tried a few different brands of Amsoil motor oil in my turbo motor and the stuff smoked and burnt off faster than I've ver seen. The GReddy oil outperformed it and so did the Mobil1, barely. The best stuff so far has been the Motul 8100 5W-40. But I'm going to go with the Motul 300 5w-40 next time. My personal opinion is Amsoil blows ass. And I really don't give a crap about oil analysis or any crap on the internet. My REAL WORLD experience with Amsoil was terrible.
