I'm highly suspicious of any fluid claiming to meet eleventy-seven
different specifications. Different viscosity and friction are specified
for different fluids. That's why I don't use my employer's bulk fluid in
Hyundai (or anything else unless they specifically instruct me that I
must). I just don't believe the spec sheet can possibly be accurate.

I kinda wonder about that myself. They did reverse engineer the
Allison/Castrol Transynd fluid for the Allison TES-295. However, it
seems like they just added SP-III to the label of the Synthetic
Universal tranny fluid.

Do you have any idea what makes SP-III so different? I would like to try
the Amsoil product to see if it feels any different, however, I don't
want to trash my automatic. I do like the way it shifts as it is and
don't have a problem buying my SP-III from a dealer or even having the
job done at a Hyundai dealer - but someone has to try it! It seems like
all I ever hear on the subject of the auto tranny and SP-III is people
mouthing what the service department has told them.

Thanks
