Dexron III or GM Synchromesh are usually the standard methinks

it's been debated back and forth to hell though

I've used the Havoline (what Tremec tested them with).

Do not use an ATF Based fluid. They have been known to cause issues with the T56 and has been documented. Use only Synchromesh!

what about the redline mtf is that good in the T56 ?

dailydriver

I fully agree with you, but he specifically asked for Dex 3 brands. I might even throw caution to the wind and try a synthetic synchromesh fluid (Specialty Formulations MTFglide). Some have used it for 5K+ miles with NO problems and claim it shifts like "silken butter". Who knows.

I have a h/c ss with 83,000 and 1500 passes at the track and the tranny has never been touched except for clutch changes. I use DexronIII. So I call BS!!!

rgaynor85- Try taking a long slow read through the below thread...I think you should find mostly every fluid tried in the T-56 represented:

Which T56 fluid?

rgaynor85

chucky2

Ha! It figures...all those posts, and no specific brands of dino Dexron III listed... Ain't that a killer?

Theres a Pennzoil Synchromesh and then Royal Purple has their stuff called Synchromax. Its the same stuff.

chucky2

Bad Blu Formula- Are you positive about that? That's the first time I've heard that...
