General opinion is if your running a pre 01 to run regular old atf. 01+ like your car sythetics or ok but some still don't believe that it is. In 01 they changed the sycro from paper to carbon(I believe) basically synthetics will eat away at the pre 01 paper ones and don't on the 01+ or so many say.
I am running Royal purple syncromax as well with no problems.

Whether this is due to some synthetics having a high % ester base stock content (Red Line D4 being one of the higher ones for this), which attracts water that in turn causes the "swelling", or if it is something else, is still out to jury.
