Anyone else have experience using this?

Did a tranny flush with ~25k+ or so since the last flush, and this time, I added Lubegard afterwards.

Prior to adding the Lubegard, I was seeing temps cross the 200° mark during the colder winter temps (VA) during my commute which is highway driving for the first 30-40 minutes then another 30+ minutes of stop and go traffic.  It's when I'm in stop and go, I watch temps rise.  I have yet to see temps cross 186° with a mix of intentionally driving in manual mode manually shifting, staying in gear etc and switching back to auto.  It's been consistent over the last two weeks.  So it seems their claims of lowering fluid temps are true. 

Next step is to make some passes at the track and see how that works out.

Interesting, keep us updated for sure!  Do you get below-freezing weather where you are?  Wonder if the trans "warmup" times are shorter, longer or about the same.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Any updates on this? I pretty much have the same car as you (2011 PP) I had a trans drain and fill recently and I haven't seen temps rise past 174 according to torque. I live in Florida and it has been in the 90s the past couple days, still no change in the temp
