I recently had my tranny flushed and filled with Royal Purple A/T fluid. This stuff is amazing. It's fully synthetic and used by many performance shops/cars. I instantly noticed a difference with my car, it runs better, shifts quiter, and I get much better gas milage! I also (today) just changed my oil with Royal Purple 5w30 synthetic oil and noticed that it runs really smooth and idle is better. I highly recommend this stuff in any scenario whether you're racing or just getting groceries.
Price: About $9/quart for the tranny fluid and about $5/quart for the oil

I know that if you switch to synthetic oil you can't move back to all regular oil ever again because of the way the engine wears using each. Is the same true with synth trans fluid?

that whole thing about switching from reg to synthetic back and forth is a myth in my opinion. My 96 S-10 i used regular or synthetic..whatever I had at my house at the time...i switched between the 2 kinds all the time and NEVER once had a problem. But, with my alero, there'd be no reson TO switch back to regular anyway..synthetic is so much better.

I have run Royal Purple in all of my vehicles which include 2004 Yamaha V Star,
2003 Honda Shadow, 1999 Alero with 110,000 miles on her and my new addition 1996 Honda Magna. I gues I should be a company rep hehehehehe but then again my company uses it in all there boats and barges Oh I forgot I am a Towboat Captain and also my boss/owner of the company lets us use the RP for free heheheheheh sorry I have everything Royal Purple ,grease,assembly lube, spraycan like WD/40 but better heheh,gear oil 90wt anyhow I sure can vouch for it..

(It wouldn't let me edit my post, so sorry for the double post...)
