Scotty reminds me of my late farther who was a mechanic as well and wore denim jackets too actually kind of looked like Scotty too That's why I love watching him remind me of my old man.... Keep up great work Scotty hope ur around a long time cuz the world needs ppl like you
I've said the same thing. Scotty reminds me of my late mechanic father. Speaks about cars just the same and was a wealth of knowledge. My dad was also very outgoing and would talk to anyone about cars or anything. He also knew all the up to date news stuff related to cars most people would think was boring. And he could tell you what cars to get and not to get based on data just like Scotty. Anyway Scotty is definitely a guy you can trust in my book.
In 2015 I bought a 2008 Corolla, and it had a lot of transmission slippage causing bad shuddering when I accelerated hard from a stop. I added 2/3 a container of that exact same stuff to my transmission (after draining some transmission fluid out), and the problem mostly went away right away, and a month later the transmission was performing perfectly, just like a new car. So yeah, that stuff sometimes works wonders, other times it has no effect.
My son has a 1999 Lincoln Towncar executive series. It does the same thing. Thank you again Scotty for helping us with this. We will try this treatment and we'll see how it goes.
Scottys advice led me to owning a Toyota Tacoma which is by far the coolest and most useable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Every time it starts right up and the AC blows ice cold, I thank Scotty.
I used the Lucas product when I did a drain and fill on my 2005 Nissan Titan at 88,000 miles. That stuff is supper thick. Transmission still running smoothly.
@@shawnajones8149 Preventative maintenance. Scotty had mentioned doing this in a previous video a long time ago. I had bought my 2005 truck in 2013 with 55,000 miles on it. not knowing the history on trans maintenance, I finally decided earlier this year to do a drain and fill and used Lucas at that time. I should have done it years ago.
L M • Another product i have used for the automatic transmisión on my 08 Toyota Tacoma accesscab and on my 2006 Honda Civic EX. Just a few drops (6 to 7) in the trans filler tube. Using **( Prolong ) Súper lubricants. Dump in the drops every once a month for about 2 to three months. If the transmission has a little slip or hesitation in shifting from 2nd to third. It will improve dramaticaly with stronger crisper quicker timing between shift points. You will notice the difference as the trans will also shift a lot smoother without any effort.
@@loumitch1 Keep in mind, when u do a drain and fill u only get about 35% of the fluid out.....so u should do another drain and fill after a couple weeks to get out another 35% or so. After 2, u get about 70% of the fluid out.
I have a 96 Buick Park Avenue. Several years ago I was having transmission problems. At the time the car had 220,000 miles on it. I had someone change the transmission fluid and filter, also added a quart of Lucas Transmission fix. Today I drive it 60 miles round trip every day to work. It now has 341,000 miles on the transmission. $150 was the cost.
I have a 2000 Ford Explorer 4.0L with 297k miles. I have been using the Lucas treatment plus Castrol High Mileage transmission fluid for 9 years now. Still truckin!
Hi, I have the same 2000 Explorer, 222k. The 3rd is having a delay engaging since I drove on plenty of ice roads last week. Do you think the Lucas will fix it?
It's never settling down. It's going to get much, much worse. It's all by design and it was planned a long long time ago. "Let me take you down cuz I'm going to Strawberry Fields..."
Man, this guy is great. And he’s right - we don’t all want to rip people off to make money. Most of us would rather be happy, comfortable, and decent to each other.

I’ve used Lucas Transmission Fix in my 1998 Subaru Impreza. Here’s the low down. The first time I ever did it I didn’t remove any fluid and it definitely seemed to help but it wasn’t a magic cure. Things did get a little smoother though. I feel like because of Lucas viscosity it’s better for slipping than rough shifts. But I’ve now learned I can pump out fluid from the dipstick hole and refill my transmission with new fluid and Lucas. I highly recommend this method even on higher mileage cars. It’s seemed to help a lot.
I had a 2003 Mercury GrammaKey with torque converter shudder and I fixed it by dropping the tranny pan, putting in a new filter, and putting in close to 5 quarts of tranny fluid. it fixed the shudder. I also replaced the pan with one that has a drain valve so I was able to drain and put new transmission fluid in every oil change. I've since bought a 2011 Town Car snd I'm doing the same process before the shuddering starts, or worse.
Thank you so much, Scotty, for all of your helpful videos. My Young children and I watch your videos to learn and to help us work on our own cars. Please keep the pictures and puns family friendly. Thank you!
Scotty, you did again with great car advice. "I'd never buy a new car, they cost too much money." I have been saying this to my friends for the longest time. You drive a brand new car off the lot and it looses a lot of it's value immediately and it's now a second hand car. So what is a new car really?? Cars are made to be driven hundreds of thousands of miles and besides, older models can't go out of fashion because they are late already, but if you chase new cars, with new designs, they change every year and that's a sure way to keep you in debt. If you ask me, newer cars are made to rip you off, as everything is made cheap these days, so why not buy something older where you know exactly what to expect and you'll save money!
I've seen this scenario before. The shop misdiagnosed by saying it was torque converter.... Turns out to be servor bore thingy that ford used in these cars and trucks. When you added that stuff it help seal up that plunger that activates 1rst,5th gear
That transmission has no fifth gear. But I agree a converter doesn't cause slow shifts. Converter either jump skips under load or grenades and spreads steel schrapnal throughout the trans.
I had a distinct shutter going from 45 to 60 mph. I used the Lucas transmission additive shown here along with a new filter and all new synthetic Valvoline MaxLife transmission fluid. Shifted like new afterward. Its It's been 4 years and about 40,000 miles. The transmission itself now has about 380,000 miles. A341E 4 speed .
I HOPE A LOT OF PEOPLE UNDERSTAND YOU! I learned a lot from you, and I confirmed a lot of things that I knew from before ... I made one “mistake” and bought a Porche Cayenne 2012 mod. 958. Very good car if you are also a good mechanic .. :-) I live in Europe .. and many cars that you said are good .. there are none here .. So you have to know how to work around the car alone and manage .. or be rich and pay for expensive service .. I learned a lot from you .. and I would like you to continue with videos that show us how to repair cars .. and how to prevent mistakes from happening ...
I had a van with a loose transmission line. Fluid ran out transmission seemed cooked. I put 2 bottles in it was an old half ton van. I towed a 7000 lb trailer over 1000 miles and drove the van for another 2 years. Don't give up on a transmission until you try this. Any shop would have rightfully called that transmission dead. Awesome stuff!
Hi Scotty, i bought a towncar and the trans was slipping in both forward and reverse, i removed 48 oz ( 2 bottles worth of that stuff your showing Lucas) of old very dirty trans fluid....wala its amazing...but now i need to know how often should I remove some fluid and replace with some new Lucas oil. oh btw Im 65 yr old lady that has saved thousands fixing my own car with all your help...you're the best...
had a ford aod in a crown vic. it was this transmission's predecessor. i'll admit i was young and stupid, too rough on that car... lost overdrive in it one day. dropped the pan, changed the fluid and filter and no luck. done this exactly but without the pump or a drain plug. put some lucas in it and 4th came back. it was working just as it should again. i didn't push it, learned to drop her in drive if i was gonna do something silly and to maybe not act silly so often lol. drove her about 6 months or so and sold it to a buddy. he knew what i went through with it prior and the fix used, it wasn't like that. it worked for several years after he got it. it's a great product imo. i don't know that i would dump it in a modern transmission unless it was a do or die thing. modern fluid, synthetic if you can get it and the friction adders in them with the level of programed control on them, automatics are not bad. honestly i always took what i could get cheap, preferably cheap and broken down...i preferred a stick or 3 speed auto older design over an o/d unit because it was one less thing to worry about on high mileage neglected vehicles. now 20 years later, i don't care either way.
My wife and I were driving her 04 Lexus RX330 on I-10 in Kerrville, TX last week not far outside of San Antonio. Her transmission finally had enough and left us stranded. 225K on the clock. Those model years from 04-06 were notoriously weak transmissions. We had the car shipped back home and are going to put in a remanufactured one soon.
Scotty, you have helped thousands of people by telling them how to fix there vehicle and it amazes me how simple you make it look even though sometimes it's not as easy as it looks. Scotty, i was wondering if you was going to get a truck would you still recommend a Toyota and Honda and which one will last the longest?
I did this with my 2013 Cadillac XTS because the transmission was slipping badly into second or third gear with a bam! Took out a quart of transmission fluid put in that Lucas fluid and it worked. No slipping no banging smooth as silk now. Now if only the rest of the car were not a piece of crap. Shocks and struts went out and now all the bearings are failing for the second time.
Scotty it's the lockup clutch in the converter. The friction material is different from the other clutch material. Shudder Stop stops the engagement problem instantly but lasts for only a little while. I use it annually on my 95 Mustang.
I really enjoy driving my 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. It's to bad they didn't continue to update these cars . They are comfortable and mechanically they are well put together.
I bought a new Crown Vic in '96 and the transmission had a mind of it's own... it would down shift and accelerate without warning, and it would pop out of gear and then slam into gear all on it's own. Ford gave me a episode recorder, and even with all of that data they still never figured out the problem. I traded it in on a new Acura, and ended up in Toyota vehicles after that.
Speaking of Hyundai, don’t put any Lucas stopleak or other Tx fluid additive in Hyundai transmissions. It made my 2002 shudder and I had to drain and refill several times to fix.
Don't buy a Hyundai , that is the biggest lie of a vehicle you could buy other than Yugo ,best thing to do is sale it before it starts giving you issues
These cars have a habit of the torque converter shudder when misfiring under load and won't even throw a check engine light. the misfires will appear under the misfire pid though. Happened on my 98 grand marquis, and a few others I've dealt with. It was a bad coil on mine.
It kinda makes good business sense to build a super reliable power train that covers all your models and keep making it with updates that only effect the looks and features. People usually upgrade their vehicle because of new features and sharper looks. You could have the same power train for everything you make and drop a different chassis on it and it would sell. Power train components would be swappable for many years and models thereby making them cheap and available. New vehicle prices would come down as manufacturing costs would come down. Reliability would increase new model sales and increase used vehicle sales as the reliability factor would be influential.
Scotty, Doc from Long Island here. Happy to hear you've moved north, to Rhode Island, where it's cooler. You know old fruit spoils faster in warmer climates......LOL.....
I used Lucas transmission slip and leak seal on a 95 Ford contour with a decent transmission leak and hard to shift in gear , it stopped the leak and it shifts just fine now
No idea how this showed up in my recommendations as I'm not a car guy in the slightest being a computer programmer, but I'm so glad it did! Love this guy and an easy sub
I only has ford 86 mustang 90 continental 93 crown Victoria 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis 2018 SUBARU Legacy. Ford didn’t have a car I could trust or could fit my needs anymore. Still have the Mercury as daily driving car 170000 miles running strong 17 mpg city highway. They messed up I would have bought another one had they still had a panther plant.
My towncar did the same. I did a trans fluid drain and fill and EUREKA, all was well. If memory serves, Ford made the fluid too slippery at the time.....
I just saw a similar video for a 2006 cobalt fluid trans with this lucas fix i did it as well works perfectly also i did it with a 2008 altima is a special ctv trans fluid additive anti slip etc awesome as well 👍👍
Hey Scotty! I have a 2013 Buick Enclave. I have changed the fluid a few times, until it was no longer dirty. The transmission acts up, when I fill it to the correct level on the dipstick. But, when I over fill it a little, and I mean by a LITTLE , it shifts smooth as butter. Could gm have messed up the dipstick level, and that is why the lambda vehicles all had transmission issues?!
First thing i would do is search it up on the internet to see if this is a common occurance with your particular make and model of vehicle. If it is then keep doing what you are doing and overfill it slightly or see if there is a redesign dipstick that is bigger. If its not a common problem and you have high mileage it could be a sign that the transmission is starting to wear out. When you put more fluid, that fluid takes up more space in the housing which takes up spaces better in places where metals have worn down slightly causing the transmission to work better when you overfill it. In that case live with it and keep changing the fluid and overfill it slightly. No sense in spending money on another transmission if it drives like a dream.
I’ve been watching you for so long and have learned so much!! Good to see you’re still making this videos! Right now I’m having transmission issues so I came back to watch some of your videos 😅🙏 HILARIOUS how you put the picture of a girl when you said “thick” and “made of metal and plastic” 💀
I had an old Borg Warner velvet drive marine transmission that leaked badly out the front and rear seals. I put that Lucas stuff in and it never leaked another drop.
Honda transmissions have tighter tolerances and use a specific transmission fluid however if your vehicle is high mileage and it's starting to slip you can use a thicker additive like Lucas don't use too much though
The utilization of the additive has resulted in the restoration of the functionality of my Ford Galaxy, enabling me to drive it for an additional 5,000 miles. While I acknowledge that this solution is not permanent, it provides a temporary reprieve until the transmission can be professionally rebuilt.
Hi Scotty, did you ever make a follow-up video to this one to show the results after your friend drove the car for a few hundred miles? I'm curious to see what the data showed.
I have a 2005 Chevy Avalanche 1500 Z71 5.3 vortec. I started making a horrrible noise that I assumed was a collapsed lifter, I had a mechanic listen and get his opinion. And he blew my mind with telling me he is certain its my torque converter. He said the noise is coming from the bottom, from the transmission. I'm confused where to start.
Scotty, I have a 2014 F-150, 3.5 eco boost with a 6speed transmission with 67000 miles on both. I had the transmission serviced, changed fluid & scanned car for problems because I had had some hard shifts at my low speed & when on 6 hour highway trip which I usually cruise at 70-80 mph
Scotty deserves something more than metric. Wish him 500,000 miles. And cuz it's Scotty, make that a million. Hey, what the hell, make it a trillion. Lot of that going around anyway.
I didn't have the money for a new transmission had the same problem but at 50 mph 4L60e 220k miles put 2 bottles of Lucas in with a flush still running a year later think it might make it to 300k thank you Lucas

This was actually a really interesting video. The way he breaks down how he's analyzing the data in real time is awesome
had a ford aod in a crown vic. it was this transmission's predecessor. i'll admit i was young and stupid, too rough on that car... lost overdrive in it one day. dropped the pan, changed the fluid and filter and no luck. done this exactly but without the pump or a drain plug. put some lucas in it and 4th came back. it was working just as it should again. i didn't push it, learned to drop her in drive if i was gonna do something silly and to maybe not act silly so often lol. drove her about 6 months or so and sold it to a buddy. he knew what i went through with it prior and the fix used, it wasn't like that. it worked for several years after he got it. it's a great product imo. i don't know that i would dump it in a modern transmission unless it was a do or die thing. modern fluid, synthetic if you can get it and the friction adders in them with the level of programed control on them, automatics are not bad. honestly i always took what i could get cheap, preferably cheap and broken down...i preferred a stick or 3 speed auto older design over an o/d unit because it was one less thing to worry about on high mileage neglected vehicles. now 20 years later, i don't care either way.
Lucas Trans Fix works. It gets rid of slips and hard shifting. Amazing stuff.
power steering fix works also.stopped a steering box leak,and whining p/s pump
As long as its not too far gone,if it is no matter wat you dump in it ..good luck
My wife and I were driving her 04 Lexus RX330 on I-10 in Kerrville, TX last week not far outside of San Antonio. Her transmission finally had enough and left us stranded. 225K on the clock. Those model years from 04-06 were notoriously weak transmissions. We had the car shipped back home and are going to put in a remanufactured one soon.
225 k miles, that's pretty good I had a mazda mvp tran broke only 50k miles
on the bright side, it lasted 5x longer than a chevy cruise!
Scotty, you have helped thousands of people by telling them how to fix there vehicle and it amazes me how simple you make it look even though sometimes it's not as easy as it looks. Scotty, i was wondering if you was going to get a truck would you still recommend a Toyota and Honda and which one will last the longest?
Toyota and Honda are some of the best...but Hondas trucks are kinda odd for a truck..I wouldn't want one , I'd buy a Tacoma with a standard tranny
I'd go with the Toyota whether it's the Tundra or Tacoma.
If you can wait, Toyota's coming out with a cheaper truck like a Maverick competitor.
"You want to lubricate the parts that move."
Riiiiight.
I appreciate everything you do on here. Everyone could learn a lot from you, I know I do
I did this with my 2013 Cadillac XTS because the transmission was slipping badly into second or third gear with a bam! Took out a quart of transmission fluid put in that Lucas fluid and it worked. No slipping no banging smooth as silk now. Now if only the rest of the car were not a piece of crap. Shocks and struts went out and now all the bearings are failing for the second time.
That Platinum S20 scan tool is incredible!!
Been using this stuff for years its amazing
The way Scott’s hands and arms are always moving around looks like he is directing an orchestra.
He must have been raised by Italians
For Frank Zappa
He is directing the entire US Government...no one else seems to be.
That,s why they call him Maestro Scotty!
Scotty it's the lockup clutch in the converter. The friction material is different from the other clutch material. Shudder Stop stops the engagement problem instantly but lasts for only a little while. I use it annually on my 95 Mustang.
Frm Africa
Scotty is a honest Man with honest Man!
It's so funny. My dad used to watch ur show on tv and now I learn from u on UA-cam.
Scotty had a tv show? What’s was it called?
I’m with you about boycotting all those greedy manufacturers and dealerships. They are so rotten to the core!
Lucas products are the Truth, I use oil stabilizer evey oil change and when I change transmission fluid I use stop slip whether it is slipping or not.
I really enjoy driving my 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. It's to bad they didn't continue to update these cars . They are comfortable and mechanically they are well put together.
Funny, I literally just used this on my 1990 Chevy 454 a week ago after some slipping and it worked great!
Bro this the man fr . This is exactly 100% what my 99 toyota camrys transmission 🤣🤣☠I did the same thing an it helped alot
I bought a new Crown Vic in '96 and the transmission had a mind of it's own... it would down shift and accelerate without warning, and it would pop out of gear and then slam into gear all on it's own. Ford gave me a episode recorder, and even with all of that data they still never figured out the problem. I traded it in on a new Acura, and ended up in Toyota vehicles after that.
Lmfaoo “stuff is thick” the picture he puts 😂😂😂🤦♂️
😂 he don't miss
Scottys advice led me to buy a 03 grand marquis and its an awesome car! I even did the same thing to the tranny fluid
My father used to heat up a can of STP Oil Treatment in the same manner.
Hoping this guy in my country. Wish you all the best sir.
Speaking of Hyundai, don’t put any Lucas stopleak or other Tx fluid additive in Hyundai transmissions. It made my 2002 shudder and I had to drain and refill several times to fix.
Don't buy a Hyundai , that is the biggest lie of a vehicle you could buy other than Yugo ,best thing to do is sale it before it starts giving you issues
I use this stuff as cut fluid for drilling holes. It really reduces friction and keep the bits at low temperatures.
Scott a good kind man
I have had great success with Lucas stop slip.
These cars have a habit of the torque converter shudder when misfiring under load and won't even throw a check engine light. the misfires will appear under the misfire pid though. Happened on my 98 grand marquis, and a few others I've dealt with. It was a bad coil on mine.
Same thing on my f150, thought it was trans shudder but it was just a bad coil. no cel but misfire code was found by scan tool.
It kinda makes good business sense to build a super reliable power train that covers all your models and keep making it with updates that only effect the looks and features.
People usually upgrade their vehicle because of new features and sharper looks.
You could have the same power train for everything you make and drop a different chassis on it and it would sell.
Power train components would be swappable for many years and models thereby making them cheap and available.
New vehicle prices would come down as manufacturing costs would come down.
Reliability would increase new model sales and increase used vehicle sales as the reliability factor would be influential.
Scotty, Doc from Long Island here. Happy to hear you've moved north, to Rhode Island, where it's cooler. You know old fruit spoils faster in warmer climates......LOL.....
My trans was low on fluid and not shifting right so I put that lucas in there and it’s been fine since then
Good afternoon Scotty! Yes Toyota! I love my Tundra Crewmax 👍 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 💪
That Lucas stuff fixed the tranny problem in my Buick Park Ave.
What was the transmission problem?
I used Lucas transmission slip and leak seal on a 95 Ford contour with a decent transmission leak and hard to shift in gear , it stopped the leak and it shifts just fine now
Lucas makes great products. I use their cetane booster in my Colorado diesel and notice a great performance improvement
How is your transmission going several months after using Lucas Transmission Fix?
No idea how this showed up in my recommendations as I'm not a car guy in the slightest being a computer programmer, but I'm so glad it did! Love this guy and an easy sub
3:30! Scotty knows THICK!! LOL, his pic pops ups make(help) us understand 👍
I only has ford 86 mustang 90 continental 93 crown Victoria 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis 2018 SUBARU Legacy. Ford didn’t have a car I could trust or could fit my needs anymore. Still have the Mercury as daily driving car 170000 miles running strong 17 mpg city highway. They messed up I would have bought another one had they still had a panther plant.
Scotty ROCKS!! 💪
My towncar did the same. I did a trans fluid drain and fill and EUREKA, all was well. If memory serves, Ford made the fluid too slippery at the time.....
Ah the old Dex 5 issue I've been reading about it allot. I believe a good fix is dex/merc or a taste of dot 3 to soften the bands.
@@jr540123 Apparently Lincoln wanted the cars to shift so smoothly we wouldn't feel it. I'm not so touchy about it....
I just saw a similar video for a 2006 cobalt fluid trans with this lucas fix i did it as well works perfectly also i did it with a 2008 altima is a special ctv trans fluid additive anti slip etc awesome as well 👍👍
Hey Scotty! I have a 2013 Buick Enclave. I have changed the fluid a few times, until it was no longer dirty. The transmission acts up, when I fill it to the correct level on the dipstick. But, when I over fill it a little, and I mean by a LITTLE , it shifts smooth as butter. Could gm have messed up the dipstick level, and that is why the lambda vehicles all had transmission issues?!
First thing i would do is search it up on the internet to see if this is a common occurance with your particular make and model of vehicle. If it is then keep doing what you are doing and overfill it slightly or see if there is a redesign dipstick that is bigger. If its not a common problem and you have high mileage it could be a sign that the transmission is starting to wear out. When you put more fluid, that fluid takes up more space in the housing which takes up spaces better in places where metals have worn down slightly causing the transmission to work better when you overfill it. In that case live with it and keep changing the fluid and overfill it slightly. No sense in spending money on another transmission if it drives like a dream.
@@admirbasic2206 Exactily. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I’ve been watching you for so long and have learned so much!! Good to see you’re still making this videos! Right now I’m having transmission issues so I came back to watch some of your videos 😅🙏
HILARIOUS how you put the picture of a girl when you said “thick” and “made of metal and plastic” 💀
♥️ been using Brad for 30 years. Very good products.
SCOTTYYYY OMG I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUU MY GRAND MARQUIS IS DOING THE SAME THING ❤️
Just like motor honey for the transmission. It works my friend put some into a beat up ram pickup transmission and it worked better.
I had an old Borg Warner velvet drive marine transmission that leaked badly out the front and rear seals. I put that Lucas stuff in and it never leaked another drop.
What about using it with a Honda Ridgeline?
Honda transmissions have tighter tolerances and use a specific transmission fluid however if your vehicle is high mileage and it's starting to slip you can use a thicker additive like Lucas don't use too much though
@@jd646 thanks
My 2009 Accord Coupe with 191,000 miles shutter at around 30-40 mph, but besides that range it just runs!! Might look into Lucas stuff
One of my favorite UA-camrs and I am no mechanic!
The utilization of the additive has resulted in the restoration of the functionality of my Ford Galaxy, enabling me to drive it for an additional 5,000 miles. While I acknowledge that this solution is not permanent, it provides a temporary reprieve until the transmission can be professionally rebuilt.
Hi Scotty, did you ever make a follow-up video to this one to show the results after your friend drove the car for a few hundred miles? I'm curious to see what the data showed.
You're the best Scotty. Cheers!
Hi Scotty love from Scotland sir
hello!
Excellent product I've used it many times
I have a 2005 Chevy Avalanche 1500 Z71 5.3 vortec. I started making a horrrible noise that I assumed was a collapsed lifter, I had a mechanic listen and get his opinion. And he blew my mind with telling me he is certain its my torque converter. He said the noise is coming from the bottom, from the transmission. I'm confused where to start.
Scotty, I have a 2014 F-150, 3.5 eco boost with a 6speed transmission with 67000 miles on both. I had the transmission serviced, changed fluid & scanned car for problems because I had had some hard shifts at my low speed & when on 6 hour highway trip which I usually cruise at 70-80 mph
I’ve never had Lucas oil products do me wrong in the road or in the track.
Lucas transmission stop leak works too
Your the best Scotty. Hope you live 500,000 km. ✌
Scotty deserves something more than metric. Wish him 500,000 miles. And cuz it's Scotty, make that a million. Hey, what the hell, make it a trillion. Lot of that going around anyway.
I have a 2009 Mazda CX-9 with 213000 I used the Lucas And it made a big Difference
I didn't have the money for a new transmission had the same problem but at 50 mph 4L60e 220k miles put 2 bottles of Lucas in with a flush still running a year later think it might make it to 300k thank you Lucas
A high mileage tranny flush 🤔🤔
Ha! The graphic that pops up when he says "this stuff is thick"!
Funny.. In the old days we would use GL-5 or gear oil.. about a half pint and it worked great!
What additive would You use I a zf transmission? Thank You Scotty. 👍👍
