Red Line Tranny fluid or Moblie 1????

I saw on ws6.com that about a 2-3 RWHP increase came from Red Line Synthitc oil, but that stuff is like $10/quart. Is moblie 1 synthitc just as good?

Anything that meets the Dextron II requirements will work. You rarely have to change your tranny fluid so I would stay with Redline. That's what I run. People here also use Honda ATF but if Mobile 1's tranny fluid is as good as their engine oil I don't think you'll have any problems.

I wouldn't count on fluids for HP upgrades it's just so negligible..

I use the standard Valvoline for the car as far as tranny fluid goes.. i change it often anyways..
