Default Best tranny fluid?

I've been researching the best ATF to use when I do my shift kit.

Mobil 1's synthetic ATF is not recommended for Dexron 6 applications. They make a Mobil "synthetic blend" ATF for Dexron 6.

Amsoil's is synthetic and is recommended.

Wondering if we should be using synethetic in these things?

Thanks for any input!

Tom

Ive checked the R/P stuff....but it sais...
"Max ATF is not recommended or an approved warranty replacement for Dexron VI"....
I guess use at your own risk....if your out of your warranty. Wouldnt want to break that over fluid.

They come with synthetic from the factory and require it. I would also stick with the dexron as Alabama stated.

I’ve been using Valvoline's version of Dexron VI for over a year now with no problems. I actually think the Trans shifts better now…just my two cents worth.

I think I'm leaning towards the new low viscosity Dexron 6 synthetic Amsoil...

Thanks,
Tom
