Synthetic Automatic Tranny Fluid...

[dficken]

I plan to add synthetic ATF to my car soon because I plan to turbo it soon as well.

How good is the Valvoline Durablend ATF compared to fully synthetic (Mobil1 ATF)?

Reason why I ask, I can have a valvoline instant oil change perform a full flush and replace with the durablend ATF. OR I can doi it myself (never performed a flush before so not sure how hard it is to get everything out) and replace with Mobile1 ATF.

Thoughts, Specs, Experiences?

Thanks,
Dale.

Their isn't a distributor in my state.
Plus I was wondering the difference btwn the Durablend brand and a fully synthetic brand. i.e. how much better is the fully synthetic brand.

just put in Mobil1 ATF.... much smoother shifts than before. emptied about 4 litres out, so i put back in 4 litres (4 bottles) of ATF. really easy to do, similar to changing the oil. wish i could've done a full tranny flush though cuz there's probably 3 litres in the torque convertor and whatever (AT has capacity for about 7 litres of ATF). so i'm guessing by the time i do another ATF change, it'll be fully synthetic.
