This is the only OEM fluid I put in mine.
OEM fluid in my neck of the woods is $33 per quart. Amsoil, though not cheap by any standards, is half the price. And believe me, the last thing I want is to blow up my tranny. The decision to go with Amsoil is not a decision I'm taking lightly. But, I've researched the b'jeezuz out of it and am fairly comfortable with my decision. At the end of the day, I guess time will tell. Do you use all 9 quarts? On the tranny flush page, the general consensus seems to be 7.5 to do the job. I just want to make sure I have enough.

7.5 - 8.5 sounds right...just did mine and had 1 quart leftover....so about 8 was will do it.

havoline also has a compatible line I was seriously contemplating....sourced via amazon.

There's a sticky on it, on one of the last few posts I wrote down how much I used and which hose. I'm pretty sure I drained the pan first and that avoided spraying fluid everywhere when I unhooked the hose.
