I used AMSOIL ATF. Shifts into gear alot easier.

I second Amsoil, also lowers temps and has better protection

At what mileage point did each of you change your transmission oil?

**MadSeason** · 11-07-2005, 09:57 PM

35k when I got the car it had never been changed, it came out like it needed it. Dirty Red

Did you ship your car with AMSOIL in it? If not how did you get it over here?

I use Pennzoil Multi-ATF or a Mercon V in my brass syncronized WorldClass
T-5. Shifts much smoother at low temps. Its a synthetic blend.-Tim

I had it in the tranny when I shipped it. I can get it sent over here too. Where do you work in K-town?

I'm about to change mine, I'm going to use Royal Purple's Syncromax Oil for Manual Transmisions. I'll let you know once I do, if there is any noticeable differences.

I work on Ramstein for the AF. I am trying to get some tranny fluid and rear end fluid. I would be interested in 4 qts of tranny and 2 qts of rear end fluid.. If you can get any Amsoil I will search a little and let you know what I want.

I just put Royal Purple ATF in and the tranny runs way better... dunno bout the Syncromax but the ATF is a direct Dex III replacement... so i ran with that and it is working excellent. But am looking to rebuild the tranny and will put Amsoil back in it.

This may sound dumb to you but from what i hear, cheap tranny fluid runs alot better in the t56s

I forgot to post back here my impressions on the RP tranny oil. I put Royal Purple ATF in my wifes 00 Z28. The transmission now runs great. It is a lot smother when shifting from 1st to second or when you mash the gas and the transmission downshifts. I put Royal Purple Syncromax on my 02 WS6 6spd and the results are also good though not quite as drastic as the difference in my wifes car. Shifting is smooth and there is a bit less notchiness to the shifts. Overall I'm very happy and would recommend either of them.

ams oil atf

Dunno how anyone elsse feels, but the words cheap and my SS rarely make it in the same sentance. I would imagine that cheap Dex III would work, but why buy a performance car to rob performance from it by putting cheap anything into it. IMHO run the best you can afford. Then your baby will always love you back. I went from stock Dex III to RP ATF and was EXTREMELY happy with the performance. And at 40 dollars every couple yrs..... how can you afford not to do it.
