Hi. I would like to ask if anyone has used "Ams Oil" Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid and Torque-Drive™ Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATD) if yes did you have any problem with it?

Welcome to MVS.
This was discussed on another forum and the general consensus was that if you're talking about an automatic 5 speed then it's best to stick with JWS-3309 fluid and not use those mentioned. There is no confirmation that they truly are JWS-3309 compliant except from Amsoil (no third party testing). A transmission is just something you don't want to risk with the unknown. On the earlier 4 speed automatics that call for Dexron ATF, whatever Amsoil sells as compatible seems to be fine and there are 100's of 1000's of miles of testing done that says it's actually a good product in our Volvo's.
