I have a 96 camaro and I read somewhere's that I am not suppose to use synthetic fluid pre-01(I think). Now is that pre-01 ls1 style t-56 or is that absolutely everything before 2001. I can't remember if I last used synthetic or not. If I did can I switch mine or do I now have to keep using it. Also if I do somehow remember that I did not use synthetic what do you guys recommend? Thanks.

 

never heard of that.


I use RedLine in mine.

 

Only restriction on using syn. fluids is in the Auburn differentials. There is absolutely no reason not to use synthetic fluids in your car!!! Your T56 takes standard syn. ATF.

 

SixSpeedsInc (formerly T56Rebuilds) recommends either the GM-branded stuff or Mobil 1 ATF, both of which are synthetic.

 

Yes, you can use synthetic ATF. What you do not want to put in there is gear oil. It will destroy the blocker rings.
