[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 545759, member: 52972"] I thin Bill said it very well. If you use RP and never have a transmission problem, you will feel it was because of the RP and it was worth the extra money. If you used Mercon-V and have no problems, you will not see a need to pay the extra cost for RP. Even if a tranmission fails, it's never caused by the fluid as long as the fluid is changed at regular intervals, so it's difficult to say that a different brand of fluid would have prevented that particular failure. If you never have a failure, it's impossible to prove that the brand of fluid was the reason for no failure. It's like trying to prove a negative. That's kind of like some of the medicines on the market that they claim will reduce the chance of a heart attack by 60%. My guess is that 40% of the people who took their medicine and still had a heart attack would feel it was not worth the money. And for the millions of people who never took the medicine and never had a heart attack would feel they don't need it. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
