Yeah, the Schaeffers guy told me it was good, but I think I should save it for my 94 GMC 4X4.

Since were on the subject, whose got the best aftermarket filter and pan gasket?

Of course he did, He is trying to sell you something

None of the aftermarket fluids have all of the friction modifiers needed for these transmissions so people often make this fatel mistake.

Nope toyota type t-iv fluid is all that is recomended. It may work for a while but why chance it?

400 for sure can absolutly use nothing other than this.

I use mercon v as it us available to me and is equivalent to what factory recommends. The filter is reusable metal mesh just clean it out and the gasket is grey silicone make sure to scrap both surfaces with a razor and clean with brake clean on a rag
