Default Royal Purple........

Now I was told by some people that I can run the RP Syncromax tranny fluid in my T-56.

As I was Changing my oil i noticed that there is a sticker on the tranny that says use only DEX III ATF, or something like that.

Is it ok to use the RP Syncromax? Will it hurt my Tranny?

(by the way my tranny is all stock)

85k miles with synthetic fluid (first M1 at 8k then RP Synchromax at 30k). Never had a problem. Changed trans fluid approx every 30k after switching to RP.

I use it on my Built T56... Sometimes shiftig is a little stiff. Prolly the tranny still breaking in or not as much friction modifer in the RP.
