I am going to change my trans fluid in my protege with 111,000KM on it. Its brown and needs to be done.
What is recomended for a good ATF?

...and as well my VW buddy told me that i should not drain the fluid and clean it out. that instead just drain the old and add the new, leaving some of the old behined. He said otherwise you might get trans issues.
Is this Correct? never heard this? what is your recomendation and yes i have read the How-to for trans fluid.

Never heard of that either. Maybe in VW transmissions, they need the old, broken down fluid to help hold the transmission together.

I use Red Line D4. Others use Amsoil synthetic ATF. Others use Mobil 1 M-V. M-V does NOT stand for Mercon V. It stands for multi-vehicle.
