Default Brand new Performabuit Level 2, which brand of fluid?

I was just wondering what brand of fluid I should be using in the trans. It's brand new. I read that I should be staying away from synthetics, and that any brand of Dex 3 should be fine, I was just wondering what you guys were using.

Tomorrow night man!! I'll be back home for almost a week now with interviews so we'll have to get together, I should have the car up there with me too.

And yeah, I know Dex 3 but I just wasn't sure if there was a specific brand/additive package that was recommended for the trans.

Think I'll just go with the syncromesh stuff, I hear good things about it. Either that or the Mobil 1 non synth.

I'll be up next wednesday night through the following wednesday. Brocks wedding is Friday/Saturday and I've got three interviews between Thursday/Tuesday. Other than that I'll just be hangin out. I know Nathan and Joe want to see the car too though. Maybe we'll all get together for a bit.

I'll have to pull the car out. It's only been out for 10 min since the Bandit Run.

Use any conventional DexIII stuff. Stay away from synthetics. If I were you, I'd just pick up some Valvoline or Castrol DexIII for peace of mind. Probably the same crap as store band.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Cool.
