Mobil1 DexIII

[Don Dulmage <big-d@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldnt contradict anything Sean said. Their advice, help  and support has been too good. Obviously they know what they are doing. 
I got to the Mobil one a different way. I used to have the local Esso Agent as a sponsor. (Ferguson Fuels) He would often bring people by to see me. One of those people was the late Mike Priest, Mike was a Brit and was very knowledgable on Mopars and drag raing for some reason. Obviously he had some experience. "Do you have any trouble with the Direct clutch /stator support sealing rings" he asked. I almost fell over. Why yes I said . we have to pull the trans every couple of months and service the high clutch and change the forward sealling ring. I went on to say we had gotten some special rings from Turbo Action that were much better but still we had to service it at east once a year. "Why dont you use Mobil 1 synthetic trans fluid he asked. I went off into one of my tirads about  all the crap (You guys know , ;> ) What he said stunned me. He said "fine suit yourself! but aluminum melts at 1200 to 1300 degrees and Mobil 1 synthetic trans oil is stable to 1600 degrees so unless your trans has melted and is lying in a blob on the ground Mobil 1 sxynthetic will protect it and stop that problem.. He dropped the subject then but i thought about long afterwards. Finally I spent the money and changed it over to Mobile 1 . I am knowing for trying a lot of things and so I thought i would at least learn wether it worked or not. (bad results still increase knowledge and understanding) That was the very last time i ever had to service our transmission.  except of one day i broke a sprague while racing at Shannonville. In fact all i replaced was the sprag and thewgaskets because everything else was still perfect.  I am sorry that Mike is gone but i am still benifiting from his advice. I run the stuff in my 63 as well.  Actually it probably gets more abuse than the Charger did at the track.
