Comma ATF, any good?
« on: 24 December 2008, 11:08:02 »
Hi I'm planning in changing my ATF fluid, has anyone got any experience of Comma ATF, is it ok to use or should it be avoided.

Thanks

I think Mark used that in his Ex-plod a few years ago and didnt rate it.

Most of us use the Fuchs Titan 4000 from opie oils, a very good choice.

I would buy it from them, but I wanted to change it over the holidays and I guess I won't be getting it until after christmas. Wasn't sure about comma myself heard mixed reviews.

Cheers

I used Comma in the tractor once, unimpressed.  Saying that, the box blew up 3 weeks later, so the box was probably shagged anyway.

I use the Fuch Titan 4000, which I am happy with.  See sticky post in Parts for Sale - we have a relationship with Opie Oils who can provide it at good prices, plus extra discount for OOF :), plus they often have extra offers on as well.

Got the gaskets and stuff, just need the ATF, think I will give Opie Oils a go, any discount codes or stuff I need to get the discount, or will I just quote the OOF?

Do you think I can get the ATF before the new year?
