Thanks. And every time I see that name I say "Am Soil".

Let me guess you have no experience with their products? And you don't like their "Pyramid" system.

If you know their history it was originally called "AMZ/OIL". This man started the company "Al Amatuzio" notice the "Z" in his name?

It's Amsoil.

I honestly don't know the difference between the Mopar ASRC ATF versus what Amzoil ATF is offering, but I do know that Amzoil tends to have a much more robust additive package than any other oil manufacturer, which is why they advertise being able to go further than more oils (they have more additive to sacrifice).

There are those that love Amzoil and those that are wary of it. All I can say on the subject is that Mopar has their recommended fluid and I don't believe they stated that the Amzoil stuff meets their specs. Kinda like the ATF +4 issue with the 68RFE. There are a few vendors that actually meet the spec and sell their product as ATF +4 (like Valvoline), and there are those that merely state that their product is equivalent to ATF +4. Another thought is to see if Aisin has any recommendations for transmission fluid for their AS69RC. I've personally never looked it up, but I know HD transmission makers usually spec some products, like Voith having a list of approved fluids, or Allison preferring Transynd but having another spec that is fairly common and easy to procure.

Hard to read Blue numbers, 16.1MPG.

And perhaps your MPG is one of the reasons one doesn't choose a DRW truck that you get into so many heated debates of SRW vs DRW.

Never "heated" on my part.

I am very happy with the 16.1 mpg for the driving I did on that short trip. Pushing close to 10K going down the road with my "ears" up.

From AMZ/OIL web site,

Automatic Transmission,AS69RC......SLF #2
Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) (ATFQT)
OE Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (OTFQT)

Note #2 says. Mopar recommends Mopar ASRC ATF.

Aisin Mopar trans filter $36.50 AMZ/OIL Universal ATF is easy to obtain.

68RFE Mopar sump filter $31.95 and spin on $17.95. I ran the AMZ/OIL in my 68RFE.

I would completely change both trans and filters at 30K and use AMZ/OIL.

So for me the Ailsin will cost a tiny bit less.

My mileage is for sure better with my 15 Dually than the 11. Ya don't buy a Dually for the mileage!

Is Amz/oil what the Aisin uses, the dealer told me you have to use a special fluid that the dealer has to get? Typical dealers.

The answer is no and I wouldn't let one drop of Amzoil near my transmission.

Does your dealer clean the EGR and replace the CCfilter under warranty or so you have to pay?
