Default high performance ATF oil ??? built 4l60e

Hi

i´m putting my rebuilt A4 in need some good oil
it´s high performance setup alot of drag races 3800 stall and nitrous

i´m thinking og what oils are best for heat tolerance i know it has to be for dexron III but not all oil are the same ??


like for example
Racing oil like Royal purple MAX ATF vs. regular oil like Comma ATF
both are for dexron III cars but the royal must be better right ??? i know the prize diffrence is huge

i see many people here just say regular DEX III

Use Regular dex 3. I use it in my flt level 3 w/ a yank comverter and it is fine. If you feel better about it and want to spend more you can use dex 6

I used Castrol Dex/Merc - it's DexIII(H) compatible, which is a step above DexIII, but not quite DexVI. If you're afraid to step up to DexVI for any reason, maybe DexIII(H) is a good alternative. From what I understand, it's the "heavy duty" DexIII.

For very high torque and or very aggressive driving, Monolec 7500 from Lubrication Engineers is what I would recommend here. Hydraulic fluid is also very good for extreme conditions.
