Actually I like the ATF's in the order u listed them.

But:Since MOBIL is best choice for me off the shelf, I usually put in MOBIL1.

The Valvoline ATF would be my choice if I wanted a good ATF but was on a real budget for ATF (its a blend despite the name, but Iwould pick it over non blended)

I suggest everyone do yourself and your car a favor,, buy some 300V Ester Synthetic Motul motor oil... If you buy it by the liter, they come in racy metal cans. This product oozes quality and just has that professional race look. A friend of mine with a high-powered VR4 hooked me up with 2 liters worth.

Unfortunately, they no longer produce ATF. The place I bought it from closed down a year ago.

Q45tech's latest potion (per yahoo forum) is Mobil 1 ATF with half a bottle of BLACK Lubeguard additive.

I used a full bottle of red Lubeguard additive with last trans fluid fill. Haven't added anything else since last flush with Mobil 1 ATF.

Something about torque converter lockup (which I don't fully understand).....
