Most people including myself will tell you to stay with the factory fill, which is a Non synth. Dexron III. Some people run syncromesh and all that fancy stuff but I've always felt its a little thick in comparison to the Dex III.

You know, the sticker on every t-56 I have ever seen says use ATF III. Which for the people that don't know would be dex/merc III
