Swoosh is running 2 x Red Line Type F for 1 x Red Line D4 mix as far as I know.

I've considered running the same mix, however in winter where it's really cold the Type F is really thick and makes the gear switching very sluggish. Take into consideration this is only really applicable if the outside temps drop in the single digits.

Last week I did a 1x3 of Red Line D4 and will be doing 2 others flush/refill in the next few weeks and I couldn't be happier.

I was afraid that might come up LOL

I started off with pure racing...I did a 4x3 with Racing fluid and loved the feeling...when I was at 165K miles, I did another 1x3 with Racing fluid...and had no issues as well..

At around 175K I installed the transmission cooler and hence added some Type F fluid to bring the fluid to level...post that I started getting some flaring while going from 3rd to 4th...I knew I had a 1x3 coming up, so this go, i did a 1x3 with 2xD4 and 1xType F...

instantly, the flaring was gone and the awesome shifts were back...going forward am going to do, 1xD4 1Xtype F and 1xLightweight type F...I want to make sure the viscosity is in spec as well
