So I am approaching 60,000 miles and the previous owner never did a flush as required at the 30,000 mile mark...I do know however that the truck was a daily driver and that it only occaisonally saw a load behind it.

So it is time for a flush. I have been shopping around...kinda sorta, with the limited options being the 2 ford dealerships in town...one wants $450 and the other one will do it for $350...****ting thing is that they were only charging $250 6 months ago. (all prices in Canadian Dollars)

Well, I happened to be talking to a guy at the old ladys BBQ and it turns out he owns a Transmission shop. I asked him if he had any alternatives to the price ford transmission fluid and he told me that Wynn's has a full synthetic transmission oil and that they offer 320,000km warranty on the transmission if you get a flush done with it every 50,000km's starting with the first flush at 50,000 kms. If you don't get the first one done at 50,000km's with the wynns product then they reduce the warranty down to someting like 200 or 250,000km's...which is still above the 160,000 that ford offers.

I was just wondering if anyone else had heard this of had flushes down with other manufacturers oil. From what i understand, ford is the only approved oil for this transmission...but there has to be something else out there.
