I think ive found your stuff somefool PENRITE 4297 (TRANSMISSION ADDITIVE)

Ive enquired about this additive at a few parts shops around the place and i was met with blank looks. Might ask my local Holden dealer next time Im there. I run dex3 in my t5 as that is what the trans builder told me to run when i got it rebuilt. But im keen to see what this additive is and where to get it from.

The stuff was call lubrizol if memory serves me correctly.

Penrite tech support advise that Lubrizol has been rebranded as 4297. They simply discontinued using the Lubrizol name.
