The only difference between fluids is the base oil stock and the additive package. It's like making chicken noodle soup. You have a base broth you use. Some use from a package and some may make it from scratch from a broth that has had chicken marinating in it. The different vegetables and stuff is like the additive package.
The main difference you'll see in the base oil stock is non-synthetic and synthetic. Additive packages will vary, but again if you're just going to have the fluid in there for a short time I wouldn't worry too much.
great advice as always Josh.
just a quick update for all:
mind you my last post was some time in May of 2017, and it is now December 2017.
I ended up 1st draining some trans fluid, then dumped the "Seafoam Hydra-Trans Tune", and drove a minimum of 30mi as directed. Next I did ONE single drain and fill ~5qt using Valvoline ATF from autozone, and again topping off with another can of the Hydra Trans Tune, until at correct fluid level.
Results: ALL Torque-bind symptoms GONE!! Have been driving bind free this entire time (6+ months). That stuff was a blessing in a can. Note= I only did the procedure once, and got these results, have not even repeated the recommended 3x times to get full fluid circulation. But as she drives now, just don't see a need for it. color me impressed lol another big thanks Josh!
highly recommend anyone who experiences torque-bind to try this first, has so far saved me a ton of money/headache, and has allowed me to keep dailying bind free. win win
