I've been to 2 tranny shops today and both told me that changing the fluid would probably void the warranty. Anyone know if this is true? Transmission is very noisy and wanted to try using Royal Purple but I do not want to void the warranty.
So this is exactly what I've been told in Ford dealership today. Can't find anything that would indicate RP meets Ford spec. Dealership offered to submit a question to Ford engineering and reschedule me...

Q&A from:
http://www.amazon.com/Royal-Purple-Synchromax-Performance-Transmission/dp/B001DKTG0G

Q: Will this work on a 2015 Mustang GT with a manual transmission?
A: If your transmission calls for Ford XT-11-QDC, the Synchromax is the correct Royal Purple product. Here is the reference guide from RP: http://www.royalpurpleconsumer.com/...le_Transmission_Lubricant_Cross_Reference.pdf

See page 281 from: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/F...-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_07_2014.pdf
MT82 does call for the XT-11-QDC

While I cannot prove anything, I feel confident the XL-18 was not added to the stock fill.
Can't imagine that they would recomend it's use in the owners manual and not put it in at the factory.

I just got a few bottles of Amsoil MTF stuff even though they don't recommend anything but OEM fluid on their website.
