I doubt the ATF+4 price slide will accelerate much anytime soon.
Remember D-C is doing this amist anti-trust pressure to the federal
government. (See ILMA's letter to the FTC
http://ilma.org/resources/ftc_dcc_letter.pdf) D-C also has legitimate
reasons to be really careful with the quality and formulation of ATF+4
in addition to wanting to be the supplier. Their newer transmissions
are very sensitive to ATF properties so quality control has to be very
good. So you can bet that the costs of manufacturing ATF+4 should be
higher for the new producers (licensing, quality control checks,
periodic D-C inspections) than it would be for generic ATF fluids.
