Default M6 Tranny Fluid?

Ok here is another stupid question. What are you all using in your M6s?
I want to change my fluid this weekend.

I use M1 in whatever weight is recommended by GM. I know I don't have to tell you, but for others - FULL Synthetic!

I'm using Royal Purple Synchromax. It was a noticeable improvement over the stock stuff.

Anyone else? I just want some impressions. I think I will go with M1, I was worried about switching to synthetic, but it seems to be the ticket.

Be careful Mike, I have heard that some of the **** can be too slipery...you were with me when we changed the Cobra were you not?

I went with pennzoil and have not had any problems..I know you don't like their oil, but the tranny juice seems ok

I remeber you talking about it getting that drill pump, I don't know where I was. I will probably do M1 or just the Dexron crap as I will change it often anyway.

Oh, I thought you were there... long time ago I guess.

Yes I did it with the drill pump, worked great and is cheap.

i just went with the pennzoil **** that met the same specs as the dextron ****.

Good luck..

I love you!
I am not going to mess with it right now then. I was just trying to figure out what I wanted to do this weekend that didn't involve house repairs. I won't tell the wife that though. I think I hear something rattling on the Caddy right now!

10-4, that's what I use, and shifts like greased lighting.
