It was that at 6.00 vs Royal Purple 15.00 a quart. Used a total of 8 qrts. I did drain as much fluid out if the torque converter as I could. I can only assume there was still a qrt in there. I started at 7am and was done 7pm today with the help of and old friend. Thanks again for the pointers. It runs great. Time will only tell how well I did.

Excellent!!!
Yeah, I run whatever universal stuff; started with Mobile, but did just a drain type change to Redline last year, which means I have some unknown resulting concoction in there now.
I don't generally promote that idea when folks ask (like you did in an earlier post in this thread, bit i stayed quiet on that item). But, now you already pulled that trigger, thus my above comment.
Wow, when i think about it, I've put almost 30k mi on that trans I did coming up on 3 years ago, even though I didn't post about it for a few months after that. Your satisfaction with an economical weekend repair will not soon wane.
