considering that the only fluid that seems to have shown resolving the moisture issue the existing trans fluid had is the 2019+ formulation of mobil 1's atf hp fluid. I doubt you'll find anyone looking to risk things on an unknown when we dont even really know what is different with the formulation of the blue banner version vs the black.

That would be a great test to run...but i doubt you'll be able to find anyone who cares to organize it. TCC shudder in two cars. Replace fluid in 1 with mobil 1 blue band like the oem suggests. Replace the other with amsoil or any other alternative. Come back in 6 months and see if the shudder is still gone.

most will probably just stick with the blue band.

I just performed an A10 fluid change in my '17 ZL1 using Amsoil Signature Series listed above. It is certified acceptable for all ULV, HP, and Dexron 6 requirements. So far so good...of course only 7 quarts or so is replaced during this drain and refill.

Ya I'm thinking it will take a few changes to get all the non amsoil fluid out. Let me know if you notice any changes good or bad.
