No I'm not. I'm doing nothing of the sort. I am simply reporting on MY findings and experiences to date on MY transmission pre and post fluid change. And as such, as stated previously if it goes bang then you'll all be the first to hear.
What claims have I made concerning
anyone else's transmission?

Yes I used a 'non-recommended fluid', I've also been caught for speeding once or twice. So what?
Where can I find these 'trusted statistics' and 'professional experiences' that relate to my specific transmission coupled with my specific symptoms prior to the fluid change? Has a qualified individual, or a company/third party run controlled tests on this transmission using different fluids and as a result there is a load of data on it somewhere I don't know about? Or is it simply peoples opinions popping up again?
'But statistically, others would be better served by using recommended fluids' Where you have sourced those statistics from?
