Default Help, I have synthetic in my 12 bolt

Ok guys obviously I will change this fluid out ASAP, but what effects will this fluid have on my EATON POSI. It has probbilbly been in there for about 500 to 700 miles. What do you guys think?

I think you'll be alright, Iwas thinking they don't recommend the synthectic because of the leaks. Just put in the organic fliud with additive. even if synthectic is bad for it, what can you do anyway? change the fliud.
For the most part I wouldn't worry about it.

Synthetic fluid in an Eaton with carbon fiber clutches is going to cause the bonding agent that hold the clutches to the discs to break down and the carbon fiber just comes off.

I have run 85w140 synthetic without an additive in my 10 bolt with Auburn posi for probably 15,000 miles with no problems.
