LUBEGARD® How-to - ATF Protectant Red - Transmission Additive 

Very happy to hear when a customer has such positive results - we're glad to be of assistance. If you ever need further advice or help in the future, we're always here for our customers! #lubeglad

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 I selected lubegard because I did lots of research on transmissions. It was the liquid wax esters that interested me. Sperm whale oil was essential in the early automatic transmissions. No other competitors gave any science or history to back their claims.

did your impala have p1811 (max adapt long shift)? My trans runs pretty good and shits great when the fluid is cold. Once the fluid gets hot then it has trouble. I would imagine the clutch packs are worn I already swapped some fluid from the top and added lucas oil. It's helped but the problem still occurs when the fluid is hot.

@@johnames6430 It only threw an oxygen sensor code. I was never getting any trans codes. Those trans do well with Castrol dex/merc and up to 20 oz of lubegard red. At some point the clutch packs just are gone, but I've seen some Impalas with 250k on their original trans.

I believe my problem was gunked up solenoids or valve body.

Is it still running good for you? I’m contemplating doing this in my 3rd gen as well. Thanks!

How’s going now? After a time we would like to know your experience.

Thank you for your comment and thank you for using Lubegard!

From where you got here in UAE?

blake Day trucker, thank you for sharing your experiences with LUBEGARD®. We're here to help anytime!

Pleased to hear this heavymehcanic2. Thanks for telling of your experiences with LUBEGARD® to the RU-vid community & happy motoring!

Kevin - Our Platinum is our top of the line ATF additive. You'll love it and so will your transmission! Glad to hear your success with our Instant Shudder Fixx and that we've gained another happy customer!

Theodore - for the highest chances of success, I'd say go with the platinum. The red will definitely help, but platinum just has more and better ingredients in it. How many miles are on the Taurus?

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 if i already put 6 oz the red in my 6.5 quart honda 4 cyl can i suck some out and put in the platinum.

1 year later. Silence 🤐

Hi Damian - on this product - SAAB put out a technical service bulletin. It's on the product page - www.lubegard.com/products/red/ or directly to the bulletin here - www.lubegard.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/OEMsuseLubegard.pdf

Man, I hope you find this message well and you Fusion is still ok, I could be wrong, but ford have specifically stated to use only Mercon LV in these 6 speed automatic transmissions

Yes it does. Our product is designed for extreme temperatures. We recommend a treat rate of 1oz of Lubegard to 1 qt of transmission fluid. A maximum of 2oz lubegard to 1qt of transmission fluid can be administered and should not be exceeded.

Re-reading, and to be more specific about your question - Once added to the ATF, our additive will last for the life of the fluid. Once your atf is flushed, swapped, changed, drained, etc. (there's so many names for an ATF service these days) you can then add another bottle of our product to your transmission. Thanks!

Thanks for information, my ford fusion has no transmission issues with low miles but I want the transmission to last longer as we have extreme temperatures in the middle east. There are many products online but I will use lubegard and I hope it won't let me down.

If you're looking for longevity, please use our Platinum High-Performance ATF protectant - part# 63010 it has all the same benefits as our red bottle and increased anti-wear properties as well as the additional additive called Synergol TMS. You can find out more about that here: lubegard.com/SynergolTMS.aspx

Ernesto - yes, you can add this to your 98 Camry. Red will fare better in this specific application. Has the fluid ever been changed before? how many miles does it currently have?

Hi Kevin, you can use our platinum or red bottle in conjunction with our Instant Shudder Fixx but that may be to late it sounds like. As a preventative measure, you can't go wrong with our Platinum ATF Protectant.

Hi MV, yes you can. However we have a power steering additive that would be more suitable. part # is 20404. thank you

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 Thanks. I haven't gotten around to sourcing any of this yet, but will next fluid change in a couple of months.

Hello - Yes the product is fully compatible in your 4EAT transmission.

What more do you need than the reviews of real people who have used it? Best advice is from the field of use 👍🏻

Hi MTN OPS, no you can safely add up to 2 oz. per qt. of ATF

Hi Gooztr E - we would recommend Platinum ATF Protectant, it's has slightly better anti-wear properties and should give you the benefits you're looking for.

Hello - The Platinum is fully compatible with the Red.

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 Thanks!!!

Hello - Yes, Lubegard ATF Protectant is fully compatible with Toyota T-IV ATF. It may take up to 200 miles to see the full results, but it should improve the morning sickness. have a great day!

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 i open the oilpan and changed the oil and oil filter already but the problem is still there. Hope lubegard will revive it and my expectation are high on it. Thank you LUBEGARD #1

Hi Homero - Red and black are parallel products that offer similar solutions, however they are for different applications. The premium version of red is platinum High-performance ATF protectant. Red is merely a protectant that increases atf performance and is a multi-vehicle additive. Black is applications specific and has friction modifiers in it that alter the fluids properties, thus allowing you to use a cheaper base fluid to fill your transmission, add our bottle of black, and it performs at a higher level equal to the more expensive OEM fluid. The platinum is a combination of both, it has all the benefits of the red, black, and green bottles all in one bottle, and then some! Platinum is there to eliminate all confusion of which product to use in case you don't know, or care to look up the right fluid (or just ask us!) Always be sure to reference our OEM ATF & Conversion Chart as well as your owners manual for full usage instructions. Our Chart can be found here - www.lubegard.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/OEM-ATF-Conversion-Chart.pdf. Please let us know any other questions. Happy Motoring

Hello - Add one, 10-ounce bottle.

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 Thank You!!

Hello - Lubegard Transmission Flush #95001: www.lubegard.com/products/transmissionflush/

Hello - You can use the full 10 ounce bottle in a 7.4 quart capacity system. If necessary, remove 10 ounces of ATF before adding Lubegard.

Hello - Either product could be used, but the Platinum contains newer technology offers better anti-wear protection.

Hello - Yes, If your leak is due to hardened seals, the product will lubricate them, making them pliable again.

Hola, La botella roja #60902 es el producto correcto para su Mazda 2007. Añadir 236 ml de Lubegard.

Hello - The Synthetic ATF Protectant (red bottle) would be the best product to use a s a long term solution. It can take 35 - 200 miles to see the full results, but the benefits should last the life of the fluid. You can use both products together. They are compatible.

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 Thank you very much for the reply, I've now bought a bottle of the ATF protectant. Looking forward to trying it and hoping for the best! :)

Hello - We do not recommend mixing Lubegard products with other additives. We do not know the exact formulation of the Nulan, so we cannot say for certain if they are compatible or not. Mixing additives can impact the integrity and functionality of the fluid. We suggest waiting until your next transmission fluid service to add Lubegard.

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 Finally I added about 8 oz of lubegard red. I noticed the gear shift and fuel consumption got improved but there were still TC shudder (about 15%) sometimes. Do I wait for 150 miles driving to see full result or add some more lubegard red? Thanks

@@xwonder6887 It can take up to 200 miles of driving to see the full results. You could also add the extra 2 ounce of Lubegard you have left.

After adding a bottle of red lubegard, the transmission with fresh ATF (valvoline maxlife) was smooth at the beginning. However, it got more noisy after I drove longer. Then I drained about 3.5L out of 7.8L ATF and poured fresh ATF again. The transmission got better, do you have any idea why lubegard made the transmission more noisy? Thanks

Hello - I'm showing that 2008 Sentra has a CVT transmission, so the 60902 is not compatible. The correct product to use is Lubegard CVT Recharge & Protect #67010 .

Hi Ryan - yes you can. We recommend a treat rate of 1oz of Lubegard to 1 qt of transmission fluid. A maximum of 2oz lubegard to 1qt of transmission fluid can be administered and should not be exceeded. For extra anti-wear additives, give our Platinum ATF Protectant a try, part # is 63010. Thanks & Happy motoring!

Lubegard • International Lubricants Inc. do I have to remove fluid to add platinum? And how much should I add for 06 Honda Accord 2.4

Hi Kosta, you can add this to your E60. We'd recommend our platinum bottle though, part # 63010, it has better anti-wear performance and better ingredients. Good luck!

Hi Kevin - I don't believe your vehicle has a CVT transmission. You should have either the U151-E, U151-F, U140-F, or U241-E transmission. In any case, those take Toyota Type WS fluid, and this product can be added to that Toyota fluid. If you have more questions, feel free to shoot us an email at Contact@lubegard.com -Thanks & Happy Motoring!

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 Thanks much. Yes i confirmed i have either a 4 or 5 speed transmission which i believe inherently means its not cvt (cvt tran have no speeds or gears)

@Jonathan A yep thanks. Was probably a dumb question but thanks for the replies

Hello Igor - Our product contains a friction modifier to eliminate shudder and hard shifting. If you add too much friction modifier, that can result in slippage. What is the year, make and model of your vehicle? Most likely the 3 quarts is just a service fill capacity and your total capacity may be larger.

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 it's a 2006 Toyota 4runner v6 4wd. Per owner manual it states 3.0 quarts which I think is kinda low.. Truck only has, or should I say, had, shudder from 25mph-30mph which was fixed with lubeguard InstaShudder Fix. Now that I know it was a fluid problem, I got the lubegard atf silver platinum bottle and thinking of doing 6ounces to my 3 quart system like stated in a video. 6 ounces to my 3quart system will be great and not too much.. right?

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 for oil I also use toyota atf ws ..

@@igorshravljevic7784 The total fill of the unit is about 10 quarts, so you can use the full bottle.

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 awesome. Where did you find that info? Per owner manual page 449 it states automatic transmission fluid capacity L ( qt., Imp. Qt) Up to 3.0 (3.2, 2.6) I also have Chilton toyota complete repair manual and it states to drain and refill its 1.5 quarts so I'm just all over the place Please confirm. Also, would I just add full platinum bottle to my 4runner with drain and refill and fill the rest with new atf ws until overflow plug starts to drain fluid indicating full..

Hello - Yes, the Instant Shudder Fixx can be used in your 2017 Enclave. Have a great day!

Hi Juan, yes you can use this in your 2012 duramax, your application can be found in our OEM ATF & Conversion Chart - l.ead.me/conversionchart

Hello - The 6DCT450 is a wet clutch DCT. There is no reason the 60902 could not be used in wet clutch DCT fluid. Same treat rate (these units have bigger sumps than the dry clutch) and the benefits derived are the same seal conditioning, frictional stability and improved lubricity for efficiency the step automatics need.

Hi Marcos, you can add the Lubegard to your transmission if your fluid is at or below the fill line. We would recommend draining 10 oz of fluid if your ATF is above the fill line. thank you

Excuse me do you know if I can use this product on ATF+ transmission like dodge or Chrysler transmission thanks in advance

Yes, Lubegard Synthetic ATF Protectant is fully compatible in your 2011 Toyota Highlander. Thank you for using Lubegard!

Hello - Yes, Lubegard Automatic Transmission Fluid Protectant is fully compatible in 5R55S transmissions.

Hello - Yes you can use Lubegard ATF Protectant #60902 in a Mazda Skyactiv transmission. Have a great day!

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 thank you

Spyro - it depends if you're doing a top off or full fluid change, you have some options for both. The red one (P/N 60902) & Platinum (P/N 63010) can be used as a top off with the Mercon V. If you'd like to upgrade your fluid, you can use Dexron VI instead and then add our Green bottle (P/N 62005) or again the Platinum bottle (P/N 63010). Please send us an email at Contact@lubegard.com if you have additional questions. Thank you

Thank you for the reply. Im actually attempting to fix a shudder issue thru the torqe converter and hoping this helps.

So 1 oz per quart, if my system total is 14 quarts id use 14 oz of the product right? Lookin at doin this today if i can.

Im going to drop the pan and replace about 5 quarts but i want to verify i need to add 14 ounces and not just 5. As i know there is plenty more fluid in the converter etc but im not draining that.

@@spyromcfarfenugen you can safely add up to 2 oz per quart of the total capacity. In this case, you could add up to 28 oz.

Hello - Your total capacity is about 6 quarts, so use at least 6 ounces.

what happend if use all the botle? 10 oz? If 10 oz is used, the extra 4 ounces will be waste but won't it damage the box or something?

@@lubegardinternationallubri6870 how many days or Km, to note improvedment. How long after or kilometers after to notice any improvement (if there is improvement)

@@franciscomorales7012 You can use the full 10 ounces. The maximum treat rate is 2 ounces per quart.

@@franciscomorales7012 It can take 56 - 322 km. to see the full results.

Actually yes! And with a little help from Dr. Phillip Landis - the former head of Mobil Oil Applied Lubrication Research Group (maybe you've heard of Mobil 1?), and through his formulation of the LXE, Liquid Wax Ester, Technology as a direct molecular replacement for sperm whale oil. We're protected by a patent that cannot be copied. Liquid Wax Ester (LXE®) was first developed and patented as a synthetic replacement for sperm whale oil. The structure and performance of LXE is similar to that of natural sperm whale oil, and is one of the world's largest known ester chains. The synthetic ester has a structure that binds the molecules together tightly, thus allowing flow at low temperatures while maintaining oxidative stability. Because it has very little unsaturation, it is much more stable than many other synthetic molecules. All of this has lead to OEM approval - We're the only chemical in the automotive industry with 8 technical service bulletins put out by the OE's that specifically name Lubegard as the fix.

Lubegard • International Lubricants Inc. I'd like to believe you, but the additive market is so polluted with products that are over hyped by the marketing department that it's hard to.

I'll keep it short and simple, we haven't gotten by depending on marketing for 40 years. When your mechanic says it's time to rebuild your transmission and it's going to cost $3,000-4,000, and you just don't feel like shelling out that kind of money for a vehicle that you don't plan to keep for much longer, give our Instant Shudder Fixx a try, it's about $6-9 depending where you shop. You won't have a concern about believing anyone but seeing it work for yourself. Thanks for the views and happy motoring!

It works and that’s why other monopolies don’t want us to know. Lol.

RFI-Crypto Lab I can also confirm that Lubegard products are one of the very few aftermarket additives that really do work, and are both safe & effective. I've used their Lubegard Red Transmission Protectant as well as Lubegard Biotech for my engine oil on several different vehicles over a period of many years (as well as recommending it to several friends who also had positive results) and I actually felt an improvement in my vehicle's overall performance, and with no ill effects. Lubegard is also the only known additive company that has ever received OEM recommendations and approvals, and if that doesn't show you that they're a major cut above the rest then I don't know what will.

Hi Ahmed - you can add this product or our Platinum ATF Protectant (P/N 63010) to your 1999 Jaguar XJ8 with Esso Type LT 71141 transmission fluid. Please send us an email at Contact@lubegard.com if you have additional questions or just need some help. Thank you!
