Thinkin about Royal Purpling the tranny after i install the valve body and high capacity pan and new filter.

Anyone using synthetic? Recommend it?

 

When I installed the PSP/Factory Tech valve body, I filled the deep pan with Amsoil tranny fluid. So far nothing but smiles between shifts

 

Which amsoil did you go with?

 

Factory Tech told me to use Mobil 1 , that it was the "chit" Thats what I'm putting in.

It is good stuff, but Royal Purple's synerlec and additive formula is a higher grade. Either one you can't go wrong w/. Both are a major improvement over dino oil. In oil, you can get "too good", where your improvements mean nothing to the next best thing.

 

Royal Purple only has one forumla for transmissions. Correct? So its safe to use it?

Mercron is Dextron III i take it?

 

Yeah, and yeah.

Same difference basically on the tranny lube.

 

How many quarts did it take to change yours to RP?

I need to get it pumped or can i drain it all myself?

 

HI!... I've been using REDLINE D4 tranny fluid in my truck for 3 years now. No problems.

 

I can't answer right now. It was the only Amsoil synthetic tranny fluid that my mechanic had in his shop. The bottle said it complies with Mercon specs. There was a drain plug on the torque convertor, so it's easy to drain the whole system. Mine took 13 qts to fill, but I have heard some say 15?

 

Really the only way to get it all out is to have an exchange machine do it for you. Buy the fluid you want and take it to a Jiffy Lube or another type of lube service company and ask them to do it. They should charge you the normal fee, but give you slight credit since you're not using their tranny lube. Plus it's neat to watch it pull out that old stuff and push in the new

P.s. Bring yourself a new clean 5 gallon bucket so they can pour your synthetic lube into, in which to suck from. You do not want them mixing your fluid into their holding tank on their machine. This will contaminate the synthetic fluid and decrease its values.

Hope this helps!

 

That Amzoil Tranny fluid is called "ATF" (believe it or not)

 

Yep that the ticket, haha LOL
