Tranny power mode

[HeckaTrebeka]

So I started using the power mode and the only difference I notice is that the VX is quick to down shift when accelerating quicker, and the RPMs are 'allowed' to go higher. The only downside that I see to this is oil consumption. I've noticed that my oil consumption is more when driving more aggressively and at higher speeds which cause my RPMs to hold at or above 2700.

Based on the thread title, for some reason I imagined this was going to be a Moab stoop party thread.

Anyway, I'll sometimes use Power mode for two lane highway passing, but for the most part I leave it off because I don't believe the higher engine revs and harsher shifting in Power mode do the VX engine and trans any favors as far as long term longevity.

Based on tha fact that this thread's been around since 04, & it's taken nearly a decade for you to come up with one of your "witty" comments...I imagine you as being a little, ummmmmmm...well...you know...

As you seem to have failed to notice, it wasn't me who resurrected this thread recently, so as usual, your imaginings about me are as off-track as ever.

You know, based on some of the pictures you've posted on this site from Stoop parties over the years, the normal thing would have been for you to take my joke as a compliment, but instead, you reply with a derogatory response that YOU think is "witty".

Guess you just have some more to do, because your comment didn't even rank a sarcastic "good one".

Mines been on since I bought it, and 140,000 miles later I'm experiencing no adverse affects. Nor am I experiencing "harsher shifting". Maybe you should leave it on longer.

I'll take that into consideration. In the meantime, good luck with the choice that you've made for your VX.
