![]() How do you know when you need to change your transmission fluid?.How much does it cost to change transmission fluid at Jiffy Lube?.How much does it cost to change transmission fluid?.Does Walmart offer transmission fluid change?.How much does Walmart charge for a transmission fluid change?.In spite of the anecdotal stories shared here, we really don't have any data that shows if one brand is resulting in less wear than another, which is different than "it works".Īfter the recent Mobil 1 debacle, its hard to argue that quality control at a major company might/should be better than the smaller companies. However, at the consumer level, we really have to just trust the bottlers and the licensing system regarding the product they sell. Simply not worth the increased exposure.Īfter Walmart/Warren recently got caught and sued for selling out of spec Super Tech gear oil, I would imagine they have increased their quality control awareness. WallyWorld would never knowingly sell an out of spec oil. (Retail pun not intended.) People, lawyers go after the deepest pockets. Having worked for the retail giant for 8+ years in the past, they are acutely aware of a huge target painted in their chest. ![]() So I would be 99% confident that it would pass the ATF+4 spec, yes, as Walmart has too much to loose by selling substandard oil or ATF. If Walmart sells some Supertech ATF+4 you can bet their buyers beat the oil companies up to find the one who would sell them the ATF+4 spec'ed product at the cheapest price. ![]() Remember we are talking Walmart not a Dollar Store. So understand why when I have a truck that is pushing 350HP and I drive 18K a year under these conditions even though ATF+4 is an outstanding spec and license anyway you look at it. Then on Sunday waiting in line for hours at a time. Where it can be anywhere from about freezing to 120F depending on the season. From there I cross the border drive another 30 miles to my in laws house. Which is about 130 miles through Montains where sometimes the temp is 20-40F or 70-90F depends on the season. "Normal Service" for me is driving from San Diego to Calexico twice a month. That should hold up until 100,000 miles for me. Also call me crazy but at around 50K I will have the pan dropped and the filter changed and fresh ATF+4 put in. Unless of course I can find a cheaper ATF+4 on sale. BTW I could not use Supertech ATF+4 because someone took all of it a Walmart. I am sorry but the 80 dollars it takes me to get my tranny flushed with 15.9 quarts of ATF+4 every 30K miles compaired to replacing an 5 speed tranny is simple math to me. Simple to find out if you are having any issues and that the tranny is holding up fine. Why would you go any longer than 30K with Mopar or any other ATF+4 without an UOA. ![]() Why go only 30k miles on this fluid? It is capable of more than that in normal service, and will go even longer if additional cooling is added for hotter climates. ![]() IIRC the base oil and add pack is even limited/regulated to one or 2 options of manufacturer. Why would this fluid be of any less quality than other, brand name ATF+4 fluids? A licensed fluid should be very close in quality to other equally licensed fluids, even if a dollar or 2 less per quart. ![]()
