There are many choices for newer formulations, synthetics, etc. I know synthetics are SUPPOSED to be better, but my experience has shown them to leak more than conventional fluids, at least in old motors & rear ends.
Looking for your opinions on what to refill with & WHY.
THANKS!

Bill,
Have you already decided on a fluid? I would use the ATF because that’s what the engineers who designed the transmission determined worked the best.
Use AMSOIL ATF because it protects against thermal breakdown(high heat is no problem), has outstanding wear protection, and has a cold temperature fluidity of < -60°F pour point. Plus it meets the Dexron lll spec and you have a warranty with AMSOIL.
Plus rather than supporting big oil(Mobil) why not get great customer service from a supporting vendor (me). You also get to order it in the comfort of your house. Myself and the complete AMSOIL technical services department are willing to answer your questions if you have any.
Oh yah and I have an offer for the site on wholesale prices. Its located in another thread on the site. It truly is the best deal you can get on AMSOIL.
