    ask me how i know....

    you can argue that old technology is all you need till you go blue in the face

    those that have tried the newer technologies know that there is a big improvement.

    thats an entirely different thing to saying that the old technology does not work at all.

    Modern motors have a disco that had 505,000k's on it 2years ago running ATF it's whole life and never had the box out. Pat

    how about we compare it to water and cordial.

    in order to survive we need water but we like cordial more so we drink that.

    its the same for the R380.

    in order for it to survive it NEEDS ATF but it LIKES transmax more.

    accordingly

    water and ATF are cheap whereas Cordial and Transmax are more expensive.


    hows that go for an anology.

    Maybe you shouldn't write things off so easily.It's been my experience with the R380 that thier isn't the ''right'' fluid,mine doesn't like Castrol only ATF or MTL,my mates didn't go Castrol either but Penrite light gear oil,I couldn't change gear with Penrite even when hot so they are a law until themselves.Do a search and there isn't a clear winner for or against Oil or ATF.
