i know we use dexron 3, but i was wondering what brand are you guys using for your trannies.

 

Valvoline

 

ill be doing my first oil change since owning the car this weekend, so i kinda wanted to lean towards the same brand as far as oil and tranny..

 

go with royal purple, they are made for performance.

 

doesnt really matter. youll be leaving the trans fluid in much longer than you will be the engine oil. My trans builder said put whatever fluid in as long as its Dexron Mercon III and NOT SYNTHETIC

 

cool guys, plus i wanted to post this poll to see what peoples experiences are with certains brands. i used regular castrol on mines and had no issues.

 

mobil 1 flush and fill here. no slipage problems at all either

 

my tranny guy said use dextron 3 so thats what i use in the 80e with t-brake...still looks like new

 

I use Valvoline DexIII. NO synthetic in my 4L60Es..... That was the advice given to me years ago by the trans guys at FLP (now FLT).

 

Well, I guess I'll be the first to say Dex VI. About 10k miles on it, no probs.

 

same here.. Valvoline Dextron III if the trans is ever hungry. No synthetic nothing fancy trans fulid. Heck my FLT trans had a sticker on the pan that says to only use dextron III I think it even says non sysnthetic.

 

Heh, I'm cheap, I put in the Advance Auto brand. (It's made by Valvoline)

I don't keep it in there long enough to worry about it. In fact, it's time to change it now.

I only put about 5000 miles on it before a change, and I change the filter every other time.

Cheap Insurance, IMO.

 

Royal Purple.

 

Amsoil....

 

Redline D4 ATF
I run that in my TH400 and my manual trans in my Z06.

 

I put some generic trans fluid in that was made by the same company as Valvoline. Works fine, and I drive hard.

 

store brand for me.

 

Yep, I also use the store brand. It is made by a major brand and it doesn't carry the expensive price. Just don't use synthetic.

 

I believe it it AAMCO or something like that. I had never heard of it, but when I bought my shift kit from Pro Built Automatics I asked him what was a good brand to use and that was one of his suggestions.

 

Thats what I use
