Terry,
Back in 1973 when I was working for Ford , we were always requested to sell
our Rotunda Trans fluid.
The dealer service mgrs would not buy int it till I found out why it was
better than the ones in stores.
The people that were playing with the transmissions told me that the
Rotunda fluid had the correct Friction Modifiers in them. I sort of implied
to the service mgrs that I might be more inclined to honor extended
warranty should they use it.
Since I was always making sure they were paid on their warranty claims,
majority went with me.
Ford products uses different fluid, Now Honda and other new cars use their
own fluid as they do perform better with their own fluid.
I know our employees have us get the fluid from the dealers as we get
dealer discount.
