Best trans. fluid for 460LE ??? Im looking at changing my trans. fluid out on my 98 z28 A4 with 143k miles on the clock. Whats the best stuff i could get from a advance auto, autozone, or oreillys ?
IMO stick with plan ole dexron3 or dexron mercron no sense in wasting money

I'm verry happy with Mercon V full synthetic. It cools down very quickly and is working very good. Since Ford trannies are garbage they had to come up with a better trans fluid and they did. Dont get the Dex/Merc stuff, get the Mercon V, I use Valvoline. Im sure you'll like it and its only about $5-6 at Kragen. I have a tranny cooler and I change the fluid every 10,000mi, but thats just me regardless of fluid brand because I drive my car hard and wanna be on the safe side.

Yeah I guess you'd need to test the conventional ATF followed by the synthetic ATF to see if there was any difference. But from you're saying it's probably not much of a difference if any.
Dexron 6, if you have an aftermarket converter you will not need as much as a stock complete fill. A 10" converter holds about 3 quarts less that a production 300mm converter. Start at 9 quarts and check. It depends on the pan you have as to how much will will need also.
