Post transmission hot?!
I have an 06 IMP SS n trying to figure out why or how to keep my tranny oil from becoming to thin after driving a while. I already have a trans cooler hooked up to it by itself Alone..

Any suggestions?!

Dex6 for the most part is synthetic. It will always be thin. If you still in loop with the radiator you might want to consider running standalone

its running on just the cooler alone right now thinking about draining n putting royal purple synthetic fluid and reconnecting to the radiator as well

I wouldn't do that dex 6 is a great fluid if you're going to mix use a little amsoil

Try to maintain a once a year filter replacement and pan drop. Install shift kit and the tunes are always critical for long life IMO

Edit: oh and the biggest the transmission cooler if you don't have one get one.
