[QUOTE="jrgoffin, post: 10291631, member: 4360"] Adding to all that, [I]most[/I] of these fluids that get used in the T-56 are the equivalent of a 20wt motor oil (or an 80W gear oil). The SAE measures the viscosity in what is called "CentiStokes" (cSt) @ 100C (212F). The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. For a [B]20[/B]wt, the cSt range is 5.6 - 9.3 For a [B]30[/B]wt, the cSt range is 9.3 - 12.5 With all that in mind, here are the viscosity numbers for many if the fluids for the T-56: Redline MTL: 10.6 Amsoil Synchromesh: 9.6 Penzoil/GM Synchromesh: 9.08 Royal Purple Synchromax: 7.7 Amsoil ATF: 7.6 Redline D4 ATF: 7.5 Motorcraft Mercon V: 7.5 Mobil 1 ATF: 7.5 For what it is worth, if you ask Tremec directly, they will tell you that Mobil1 ATF is what they recommend. Adding this for a good reference: [ATTACH=full]138555[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
