Hey everyone its time to do a tranny oil change on my ra after some research on the forums i ve decided to go with the xrp (ssp) in line filter, derale 15850 for a cooler and FFL2 i believe its called fluid what do you guys think? also noob question the inline filter a replacement for the oem filter or is it just an added filter?
its an added filter on the lines...so you will have 2 filters.
good call on the derale cooler..its identical to the AMS. AMS just rebranded it to make it easy for guys like me who dont live in the US and have to get parts shipped from everywhere.
FFL2 - good choice
Finally I would consider changing the actual tranny filter or not even bothering with the SSP filter. Ive done research and its rebranded too and you can get it right from XRP.
i didnt buy the filter from ssp paying 130$ for something i got for 60$ shipped is just rediculous i still gotta buy the fittings but im sure they re not 70$ lol
also i will be replacing the oem filter as well i forgot to mention that like you said it would be poinltess to do everything else without changing that filter out

good luck! the upgrade and maintenance all sounds great to me!
EDIT: Actually I was wrong the SSP filter does replace the oem filter and adjusts for the great volume in fluid due to the new cooler. So you do not need to replace the old filter, but take it out. Can someone add to this please?
thanks! yea its kind of confusing as to if the filter replaces the oem one or it works with it thats why i asked too if someone can confirm this would be great
you don't HAVE to run two. if the filter is trash and needs replacing, you could replace with one or the other (as in either in-line or OEM replacement)
I run both, mainly because the OEM was swapped for a new one at 5k miles - inline added at 10k with the cooler, but Eric@SSP-TX runs just the in-line.
