I have been using Mobil-1 Full Synthetic transmission fluid in my coach from almost the first time I changed it. I know Manny recommends this fluid in switch pitch transmissions due to the extra heat they generate. My thinking has been that the additional protection couldn't hurt in a regular transmission, especially due to the fact that I tow a 3000# Tracker and travel on mountainous roads often.
Since I change the transmission fluid every 15,000 miles or so, I'm wondering if I really need to use the full synthetic, or if I would be safe to use the much less expensive Mobil-1 semi synthetic. Recognizing that oil is much less expensive than transmissions and engines, I have always tried to use premium fluids, but I don't want to spend money unnecessarily.
Any opinions or advice?
