Default Changed Tranny fluid to Mobil 1

I changed my tranny fluid to Mobil 1 fully synth. and it made the shifts alot smoother. Hope that they stay that way.

I actually had mobil 1 and went to the "cheaper" valvoline stuff and the tranny grinds through some of the gears, as compared to before.

It's harder to get it into gear when temps reach freezing and I leave the car outside. I'm going to switch back to Mobil 1 and see if it improves.

My car has 50K on it so I though I needed to change it anyway. I can tell a difference so far.

I've used the Redline D4 ATF before and now am using Mobil 1 ATF. I like the M1 ATF better as far as shift quality feels.
