Buying a gallon vs quarts of ATF, or any oil, brings the per quart price way down.
If you use it, better buy it. Whatever it costs now will sound like a bargain 6 months or a year from now. That goes for everything.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Valvoline ATF+4 in my store. 13.99/qt. 30.99/gal. Walk in. Fram is 10.99/qt. Not available in gallons, If it's not on special, sometimes I can do a little better. I don't even look at Amazon.

I wonder if one of the big 18 wheel trucking companies like JB Hunt has data on which ATF performs best on the road, as many have gone to automatic transmissions to attract more drivers to the profession.
Data-centric Amazon might be looking at this in their delivery van fleet, as well as Fed Ex, UPS, Postal Service.
What are Cummins Ram auto trans rebuilders telling customers concerning ATF? Semi trucks "automatic" transmissions are not true automatic transmissions, they are automated manual transmissions, I am not sure what they use as fluid, tried googling it and couldn't find anything...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

my newest vehicle is my 99 caravan ["the bus"], and although it's 604 transmission/transaxle calls for something else, [a mopar fluid/atf - +3 maybe ?] i have been using cheap, multipurpose dexron atf in it for years and many miles, with no problems whatsoever. for what it's worth, it also has a Trans-Go shift kit in it. of course i don't drive this thing like i stole it, but at times, it does see truck duty by hauling engines and transmissions. i just don't know any more. some say +4 is the way to go, i have used other stuff without problems. i guess i'm just old and confused..............

If anyone wants to price compare, check out Summit Racing for Valvoline ATF+4 in the gallon containers.  Not sure if being a Pro Shop member provides any discounts on these particular items because it does vary.  The one gallon container ends up at $7.50/qt. and the one gallon 3-pack ends up at $6.75/qt. I got a one gallon 3-pack and a filter for my 2005 Dakota resulting in free shipping (Over $99.)!  I have a 2004.5 Cummins dually too but have used Type F or Amsoil Multi-Vehicle synthetic in the race cars. They do charge tax and items are shipped from the vendor.

I just got a notification that my 3 gal. case won't ship until Nov. 28! Hmmm.
