Royal Purple MAX ATF on Gen.1

[FFguy808]

Anyone running Royal Purple MAX ATF on their Gen.1 Auto Solara? Opinions?

I'am planning on changing my Dex ATF soon and just wanna know what kind of brand ATF you guys are running?

Any changes on the shifting..is it a lot smoother?
Amsoil is good but it is expensive here in hawaii...like $13/qt

i run royal purple max atf and have since increasing to 5.5 psi
i change it every 4k miles cause of my extremely abusive driving habits
it never ever looks or smells broken down, so I can only assume its good. My trans shifted hard when it was running anyway cause of the solid rear motor mount.

running RP atf in my gen 1 since i had the tranny replaced about 8k miles ago.

1mz NA with minor bolt-ons

she runs good, smooth shifts, no power surging between gears, no hunting for gears when doing moderate driving through hills.

now, since i had to replace my previous tranny (at something like 130k miles), i don't know if it's a huge improvement, a slight improvement, or the same as the dexmerc that was in there previously....but so far i have not had any complaints about the RP atf.

....and i'm not sure.....but don't the auto trannys hold something like 10+ quarts of atf? i had my mechanic do my tranny work, so i don't know for certain how much fluid it holds.

There's friends with the RX300 who run the RP, Redline and like myself, the Amsoil ATF, and I don't know anyone of them that has had an issue yet with our trannies. We even have a few running M1 ATF and no issues thus far.

I'm runnin' the Royal Purple ATF fluid.
I've also got a external transmission cooler also.
Will be upgradin' the external unit to a bigger one.
