I paid $14.81 per quart (or maybe liter) which included the dealer's usual above retail add-on.

I noticed an improvement in shift quality right away. The fluid used in my 5-speed auto is 001-989-21-03-10.
Roger,

Was this the only dealer service available for your tranny? Was there a full flush option to change out all the fluid or is this the only option of drain, new filter and top off and is this all that the dealer sez is necessary?

Thanks,
