XL-18 MT82 Addative done!

[derieuz]

I just got done adding in the XL-18 Addative to my 2015 GT PP, I only have been driving for about 10 minutes at 65 degrees F and so far there is noticeable improvement! It seems like the gear shifter is going in much smoother with not so much of a notch that it used to have. I'll write up a more detailed review once I drive it for a bit longer. I also have the whiteline transmission bushing and the steeda shifter base bracket, next up is the Boomba short shifter

All you need for the install is an 8mm Allen key, jacks and Jack stand, as well as a clear hose (I used 3/8 I believe)

The fill port is located on the passenger head of the transmission, break it loose with the Allen key and unscrew with your hand, slide the tube into the fill port and put the bottle of xl-18 at the other end, raise the bottom higher than the fill port and tilt it downwards, give it a few good squeezes until no more fluid comes out, one more big squeeze to push air through the tube, and then you are done after you recap the fill port!

So, you just added the XL-18 to your factory fill?

 

[derieuz]

Just added it to the factory fluid, and also it's only 27mL so the pump isn't needed, if it was for a full fluid swap then yes.

 

[embraceentropy]

Sweet! I was on the fence of doing a full fluid swap, but this sounds much more painless.

Did you have to remove any fluid first to allow for space to add this or did she just take it?

 

[derieuz]

You just have to add it, 27 mL is such a miniscule amount and the directions say to just add it

AMSOIL MTF sitting in the garage , now if i can just get the car !

Where did you buy it ?

 

[doodguy]

Anyone else done this? This really makes shifting smoother?

The MT-82 comes from the factory with XT-11-QDC Dual Clutch Transmission fluid as well as the XL-18 additive already.

XL-18 is used to quiet down the transmission. Added to the XT-11QDC fluid because it is a very light fluid.

Link to fluid chart. Notice note 6.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, it would specify that in the owners manual if it did

Where did you buy it ?

Probably from the Ford dealership since "XL-82" looks to be a Motorcraft product.

So now you have a double dose of the additive
