    Hey what lubeguard product do yall recommend after a few pan drain and fills? Looks like they got several products - they have protectants, supplements and than the additive???? What's best I have 264,000 on my prerunner. No tranny issues and 3x drain and fill over last year and a half it needed it probably was original fluid. Thanks for info.

    If you've done that many drain and fills and have no operation problems, I'd skip the Lubeguard.

    It's a good product, but I'm not seeing the need for it in your case. 264k on trans fluid speaks for itself.

    Someone will be along with another opinion, but that's ok. This is the internet. :D

    Agree with Clearwater.

    great job changing T fluid

    if no issues, keep doing what you’re doing

    IMO, if someone has never changed T fluid, finally does change……fluid black from clutch particles….then wouldn’t be opposed to adding that Lubeguard.
