From all the threads regarding ATF, it's always recommended that when using synthetic ATF or Dexron/Mercon ATF, add a bottle of the Black LubeGard. The direction says 1 oz per quart. The box also said over using LubeGard causes slippage. The capacity of the tranny is only 7.1qt, and the drain plug only drains 4qt.
What I need to know is:
A. Do I dump the whole bottle of LubeGard in there?
It's 10oz/per bottle, which would mean I'm using 140% of the recommended amount.
(10oz/7.1qt vs 7.1oz/7.1qt recommended)
B. After I've added LubeGard, on the next ATF change, because I can only drain 4 qts out of the 7.1. Do I still add another 10oz? Draining 4/7.1qt means there are still 4.4oz of the old LubeGard in the tranny mixed with old ATF. Adding another 10oz would mean I have 14.4oz of LubeGard with only 7.1qt of ATF. that's over 200% of the recommended amount.
Right now I only added 4oz of LubeGard in there after I've drained 4qts of ATF. I don't know if I need more.
