I have always been suspicious of specialty lubricants ever since I needed a fluid change on my automatic transmission in my 540 BMW. The trans fluid cost, hold on to your seat, OVER $700 for a 4 liter bottle! This stuff must be made from unicorn sperm! The tranny fluid change was quoted at $1800. I sold the car......

I've seen other "specialty" fluids that were simply repackaged oil that was common. Regular old transmission fluid has been repackaged and sold as all sorts of automotive fix it stuff.

We are at the mercy of what the vendors tell us and they charge what the market will bare. I guess it is up to us to either pay the price or take the risk and experiment to see if a lower cost lubricant will do the job. Otherwise send a sample to a lab for analysis and then mix up our own witches brew.

I'm planning on purchasing the Stillen SC and the Vortech SC uses a special fluid too. At least it is reasonably priced when you buy a pack of three bottles.
