They may be able to pump filtered ATF thru the AT while it is running, thus cleaning out suspended stuff in there that a regular drain and fill would miss, but there is seldom much stuff in our ATs, so I don't see much point. At this price, I'd say that it verges on rediculous. Mineral oil works just fine here. Synthetic may be "better," but I can't imagine what kind of improvement you might see when the mineral oil works this well. I'd pass. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
