Subject:Re: Synthetic in Automatic?

I changed to Mobil 1 ATF several years ago.  At the time the tranny became a
little quieter and shifter a bit smoother.  It was time to change the ATF so
I honestly can't say that the improvement was due sole to using the
synthetic or just replacing the old fluid.

I don't have enough miles built up to rave about great long term benefits
but in a few years I promise to let the list know.
