Would/do you use the store brand fluids?  I just filled up the tranny NAPA brand fluid on a 97 Tahoe after draining it.

I've run the Supertech lubricants in all kinds of stuff, all good quality.

They are made to the specifications as name brands check the bottle and save your money

Depends on engine/application.

On an engine that has a known issue with sludging or something to that effect then I would go for a name brand synthetic.

I thought the title of this thread was "Storing brain fluids"

As long as it the correct fluid for the application and it meets the factory specifications for the vehicle. Most fluid have a rating "symbol" on the back. Usually a inner circle with four sections around the outside. Find out what your vehicle needs by looking in the owners manual or having someone look on AllData or similar service.



Dexron III will not work in a Transmission rated for Dexron IV. D4 is synthetic and has additive for late model transmissions. Chrysler has ATF+4 or even +5 by now.



Some Hondas only like what they use at the dealer.



If you are unsure go to the dealer and have them look it up and get the fluid they recommend. I think Amsoil makes some one fluid fits all. BG also makes some universal fluid but I recommend using the dealer recommend fluid.

I worked at a valvoline canning line and saw napa bottles going through...

Most cheap oil is Valvoline from Ashland oil company.



If we group bought 500 cases, we could have our own ARFOIL-15-223 labels put on the bottles.
