is anyone out there running synthetic fluid in their tranny? if so what are you using? any other recommendations...?

 

What kind of trans do you have? What kind of fluid does it require?

There are a few synthetic trans fluid out there that are pretty good. Mobil 1 makes one and so do Royal Purple and Amsoil. I would go with either of the latter fluids. I'm not a fan of Mobil 1 anymore.

 

i have the 2005 4 speed auto tranny...i have heard of the royal purple from a few people now...thanks

 

What does your owners manual say is the recommended fluid type?

 

Owners manual will say Mercon V - if the synthetic you choose is Mercon V-compatible, you are good to go.

 

yeah the manual says the mercon stuff but i have heard of royal purple and the synthetic fluids run smoother...

 

Mercon or Mercon V? There is a very important difference in the two.

 

oh mercon V...sorry

 

Any of these will be fine. Here's some good info to read...
