what type of oil should i run in my automatic transmission? truck is an 07. wasnt sure if its different then the older years and my search only brought up info on older trucks.

 

As it states in the owners manual, Mercon V

 

Go with a Mercon V approved synthetic. I have Mobil1 in my tranny and Royal Purple in tranfercase, and front and rear diff.

 

 

Max ATF is a synthetic, high-performance, automatic transmission fluid. Its low co-efficient of friction and high film strength help to dramatically reduce heat and wear. Additionally, Max ATF is more oxidation stable than other transmission fluids for longer fluid life.

Max ATF is recommended for a wide variety of transmissions. See our transmission lubricant cross reference chart for specific applications.

Automatic transmissions generate a great deal of heat and depend upon the transmission fluid for cooling and protection. More than 90 percent of all automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating; a 20°F reduction in fluid temperature can double the life of the transmission (Source: Perma Industries, Inc.). Max ATF significantly reduces heat to extend the life of your transmission.

Max ATF is fully compatible and can be mixed with other automatic transmission fluids; however, for the best results drain or flush the current oil and then fill with Max ATF.
