I had the amsoil atf added t my 2018 f150. I think the oil is great. But the ATF made the shifting rough. I switched to Valvoline ULV and it's running much better. Thanks for the videos.

@dallaswiebe2749 2 года назад

This is good to know, The Amsoil fluid is a little thicker, it would take a bit of time to make the adaptives learn to shift gentle again. But I found this comment in looking for using a little thicker fluid in performance 10r80 over 800 hp, Your results are what I was hoping for in my situation.

@craigg4246 5 месяцев назад

Did you put in the Amsoil low viscosity fluid? The Mercon ULV is 4.5 Centistoke viscosity, The Mercon LV is 9 Centistokes . The Amsoil LV ATF is 7.5 Centistokes. I switched my 2018 F150 5.0 10R80 to the Amsoil LV ATF, and the shifting got MUCH better. Especially during the annoying skip shifts. Also, the trans temp went down 10 degrees. I am very pleased with it. So was just wondering if you put in the standard viscosity Amsoil ATF? Do you remember if it had a blue or a red cap on the bottle? That is an easy way to tell one from the other.

@danbell6380 5 месяцев назад

@@craigg4246 I am thinking about changing mine to Amsoil but I read mixed things. So yours did shift smoother? I was going to do a drain and fill as I am only at 20k miles.

Ford and GM run the same 10 speed transmission. Ford recommends using Mercon ULV. GM recommends using Dexron ULV. Are these fluids the same? Can Mercon be used in the GM, can Dexron be used in the Ford? This would be a great comparison. What are your thought's on this?

@ralphcaporaletti8083 2 года назад

Hi Mac - ACDelco also offers a ULV ATF, for their version of the Ford-GM 10 speed, presumably.

Valvoline includes a higher concentration of their additive package in their ATF compared to Motorcraft. However, this does not mean that Valvoline's ATF is superior. It indicates that Valvoline needs to use more additives to achieve the same specs as Motorcraft, likely due to Motorcraft's utilization of a superior base oil. It is important to remember that the base oil comprises a significant portion of the overall ATF formulation.

@MikeLucas-g2d 4 месяца назад

isn't valvoline full synthetic and motorcraft a synthetic blend?

Thanks for the support and watching. Hit the like button this always helps. Subscribing does too. Supporting me via paypal helps off set the costs as these two tests were about $100 dollars. Paypal link: www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=UW2B7M4M584SJ

YEARS AGO, I had a transmission hickup with my Jeep. I took it into the dealer and was told the #1 first thing they do is take an oil sample. To check the condition of the oil I asked. Oh, Hell No, to determine if your trans has genuine MOPAR ATF+4 in the trans for if you do not, we will not honor your warranty and we will send you on you way PLUS we will put our findings onto the Jeep service network and every dealer will know your warranty has been CANCELLED. !

Highly illegal and in violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Phillips 66 now makes ULV fluid.

@toddgittins5692 9 месяцев назад

Basically, the same price. Might as well run the factory lubricant.

@Pete9999100 2 дня назад

I have a 2022 ford edge 2.0 leter. I change the transmission fluid every 15k miles. I get a 6 quart box of valve.ulv fluid from Amazon at very good price.

@vfr800ification 2 дня назад

Your fluid links are not good. The Valvoline one is a type F, the Ford one is out of stock. That being said, im doing my first change on a 10R80 F150 i just got got with 47K miles. At this point im gonna stick with the Ford stuff.

@apexexa 2 года назад

RAVENOL have a T-ULV transmission fluid compared Mercon ULV . more lower kinematic viscosity can be used 8F35 transmission?

@klg100 2 года назад

my Ford Ecosport 1.5 engine with automatic transmission model 6f15 used the Mercon ULV. The owner's manual says to change it at 150,000 miles. Do you think I should exchange it first?

@TheTopGun920 2 года назад

Always change at 30,000 miles first. You have all those brand new trans gears wearing down for the first time, so you need to get out the initial metal contaminants. Then every 60,000 miles after that.

@CreatingExcellence 7 месяцев назад

I do a drain and fill every 10,000 miles. Same transmission as you, it’s crap and this is cheap insurance.

@OCISupport-yj5bd Год назад

Sold my Mercedes-Benz and bought a Ford and thought it would save me some money but after researching, its not exactly cheap owning any vehicle in todays inflation. Thanks for a thorough video!

@budblack3588 2 года назад

the Valvoline looks more robust so I put it in the first place, do you know who blends the Motorcraft?

@frankpriest2118 2 года назад

I love the oil analysis. Can you do a video of changing the atf for the 8 speed transmission? Your doing a great job thanks MACT

@jessandkaka 2 года назад

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

@ДмитрийПобойнев 2 года назад

Hello, i have bought used ford edge 2019 and want to change oil in transmission. Can you please tell me witch oils i need: rear axle, transfer case and automatic transmission. And what you think about Mercon LV in 8F35?

@undergod1987 Год назад

Pdf manuals for them are easily available online.

@theschuckles2076 6 месяцев назад

Dont know why but the valvoline ulv just shifts so much smoother in the 10r80.

@danbell6380 5 месяцев назад

You thought about trying Amsoil ? I want to, but haven't yet. Good to hear Valvoline shifts better.

@tedvillanueva7310 7 месяцев назад

Can I do a drain and fill with Valvoline ULV? This will mix with Motorcraft ULV wouldn't it and will that be ok?

@danbell6380 5 месяцев назад

Usually mixing ATFs you should be fine. Drive it a few hundred miles and drain and fill again, again and again until you are satisfied you replaced 100%. I did this with my Acura on Amsoil and it was fine. Shifts are very smooth.

@sheepdog3828 2 месяца назад

So would you be comfortable using valvoline atf LV for the superduty 6R100 six speed transmission? I know it is not licensed but says it is compatible. I need to do a drain and fill on mine. I tow 12k during shredding season and work truck pretty hard in the summers. Thanks!

@CreatingExcellence 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for doing the analysis and posting the result. I’ve been using Castrol Transmax Mercon VI / Mercon LV in my Ford Escape for several years. Not a fan of the Motocraft. Autozone recently stopped selling the Castrol so I’ve been looking into other options even though I’ve had fantastic results since purchasing my Escape with 94,000 miles. I did my first 3 drain and fills with Motocraft Mercon LV and noticed very little improvement. I noticed a good deal of improvement with each drain and fill with the Castrol which I’ve done 10 drain and fills. I currently have 169,000 miles. I think I’m going to go with the Valvoline which Autozone now varies in place of the Transmax. Long story short, are you still using the Valvoline? Did it do well for you? The numbers look very impressive except the acidity which I don’t know if that’s very high or not but it’s higher than most I’ve looked up.

@MACTFordEdge 7 месяцев назад

My vehicles accumulated have over 1,000,000 miles on the 6F50 transmissions with no failures using Valvoline Max life.

@Jim.Christy Год назад

Transmission mechanic tells me there is a “range” of viscosity for the ULV transmission which allows Amsoil (ATL) fuel efficient transmission fluid to fall within the range to claim ok for ulv transmissions. Do you know the “range” for ULV viscosity at 40c & 100c?
