Mobil 1 0W40, cheapest tranny fluid available, whatever came in the rearend from the factory.
50+ psi oil pressure @ 2400 rpm highway cruising speed but not too high on cold start

Amsoil 5w40 in the engine, Torco ATF in the transmission, and currently Mobil 1 in the rear. My new Strange 12-bolt will have Torco RGO when it gets installed.

Oh...and in the T56 I run Valvoline Dexron III/Mercon dino and in the rear 85/140 RP w/the GM addative too (I have a Torsen, so it wont "slip too much" or anything)

RPM WS6 Dec 30, 2006 02:00 AM

Engine: M1 0W40
Trans: Valvoline DexIII (dino)
Rear: GM/Goodwrench 80W90 (dino) + GM additive

No complaints with any, no plans to try anything different.
