Default when mine was low it was pulling in some air out of the resevior with the fluid

that was circulating through the system and coming back to the resevior as a bunch of little bubbles (ie froth). add some fluid and check level at operating temp, give it some time to work all the air out of the system (a day or two) and it should be back to bubble free liquid.

I seem to remember that you live in pittsburgh. I work in oakland on forbes and meyron. if you ever have any problems i can take a look at you car if you like.

Default A little bit. I don't think it matters. It worked itself out, and I've had no problems since doing

it 3 mos. ago.

Default I am evil and run Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. Have been for the past 60k with no leaks or noises...

Seems to have much better anti-foaming characteristics over the Pentosin.

I'm not advocating you try it, I'm just stating that I noticed the Pentosin likes to foam.

CHF 202 is Pentosin's answer to foaming. It has a touch more silicone in it.
