The car shifts fine, and it's been through sub -30 C too. But sometimes I wish it was a little bit less whinny. I know it's well normal for the car, but I was wondering if there is any other fluid that's a little bit quieter.

The whine is not loud at all, and I can only hear it when it's under load in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (it should whine in 6th, but I never notice it), as it should be that way. I just remember seeing a post somewhere on the forum mentioning that the factory fluid is thicker and a new fluid might whine a bit more... I might be completely wrong on this regard. With that said, I can't remember what it was like with the factory fluid since I was new to the car and replaced the fluid only after a few weeks I bought the car.



Thank you.

Well now, suppjc, I'd suggest you do an experiment. Switch back to the OEM fluid and see how you like it -
