I know this has been asked before but how many of you have put synthetic in their T56 and have not had any problems?
How many have HAD problems?
Thanks, looking to change it this weekend

 

Switched to Mobil 1 ATF at 40k and I've used it for the last 20k miles with 0 problems.

 

i was having some shifting problems with the 94 M6, it even got stuck between 2nd and 4th one day. don't know what kinda generic ATF they put in when it was changed 2 years ago

so i threw in 4 qts Redline D4 ATF six months ago and its perfect now. noticeably smoother shifting

 

Im running synthetic and I love it. Dont know if its helping or not but my tranny is stock and it has taken some beatin on some 10 sec passes

 

Can somebody tell me exactly how many quarts are need for the trans?

 

About 4 i beleive. Also has anybody ever tried using honda ATF? Does it work good for our cars.

 

I use it, definately noticeable difference from stock fluid. Quite a few others also have used it with good results, most like it better than Mobil 1.

NOT

Synthetic in M6 =

 

I put dino juice in trannies and especially rear ends with "clutch" type posi's. These things depend upon a certain amount of friction to operate properly and they were not designed with synthetic in mind. It's too slippery, IMHO.

If rskrause says to use dino oil, then I'm putting dino oil in it.
Thanks!

 

thats what my tranny builder told me to do also

 

what is dino juice and will it quite tranny noise? i heard that honda fluid does

 

Dino juice = regular oil, non synthetic.

 

Dang Rich, guess you are the drivetrain masta.. . .....I was just gonna ask that. I just got my tranny rebuilt and the shop guy told me not to use synthetic oil. He says they only put Penzoil tranny fluid and recommend nothing else. That was fine by me since I was holding Amsoil in my hand ready to go. I was surprised.
