Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / February 2007Valvoline's additive to ATF?
Went back to Valvoline for a radiator flush and they informed me that they use an additive to their ATF fluid called Platinum by Shift Rite making it compatible with Hyundai's SP111. Any input? > Went back to Valvoline for a radiator flush and they informed me that > they use an additive to their ATF fluid called Platinum by Shift Rite > making it compatible with Hyundai's SP111. Any input? Personally, I don't trust any aftermarket additives. What assurance do you have that the pimple faced 18 year old will put any of it in, let alone the proper proportion? From their web page: PLATINUM will enhance Dexron/Mercon to perform like a Mercon V fluid as well as any other Highly Friction Modified fluids (such as Honda Premium, Toyota Type T/TII/TIV, Chrysler Mopar ATF+3(7176), +4(9602), etc.). Shift-Rite PLATINUM helps extend fluid life and performance over all OEM fluids. I say it’s still not worth the chance. Remanufactured transmissions aren’t cheap. How does it perform like all those fluids at the same time? Doesn’t seem possible to me. We have one of those "meets almost every spec." fluids in our shop. Not only will I not let it near any Hyundai, I also won’t even use it in my Taurus which takes Dexron. I don’t really know what it is, and I’m certain it cannot be everything the company claims it is > <Dan> wrote in message > news:glc1t25suot3u08a7a2v2p3m2hrm37dsc1@4ax.com...

Use only Hyundai SPIII or Mitsubishi SPIII - use no other ATF. |
