not sure what to tell you. just get any filter and gasket kit that comes with a rubber gasket. shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks i think. just get any fluid thats not a generic brand and youll be good

I dont plan on drag racing again for a while. Going to School in a Diffrent State.

I guess I'll Ask around and see if anyone knows about that Trans Tune/Seafoam.

He might have been low on fluid then. Personally I wouldnt use it either unless Im getting ready to change the fluid, Then I might run it for a little bit with it before I flush it.

no additive will fix a check engine light, it may have been something was sticking, or getting too hot in which case regular fluid would have done the same
