Thread: Recommended Transmission Fluid?

I know Dave as well Zef...which is why after all the things I have talked to him about...I'm surprised I've never covered the topic.

This is what Dave told me about his fluid blend:

The fluid is also a 30 wt oil, where ATF is only around 7 wt so it is a heavier bodied fluid that sticks to the geartrain much better.....I use it in near every rebuild, especially all high performance builds. You should be fine using it during a service as long as the fluid you take out is in decent shape. If the fluid is dark colorer or burnt then dont bother putting this in because it isnt a miracle worker!

At the time, in another PM or email somewhere, he said it was a Dex III mix with the 30wt oil. I took out the part where he specified the oil PN because he said he doesn't like to give it out that often. But I am just going by what he told me a couple years ago. This was right when Dexron VI was coming out, so maybe he just didn't have much expereince with it. Maybe he uses Dexron VI now. Or maybe he uses Dexron VI mix with 30wt oil. I don't know.

But as I mentioned before:

But to say that our transmissions prefer Dexron III fluid is a quite misguided.
