I've always used Mobil 1 synthetic tranny fluid for an automatic. I also hear good things about Brad Penns, and Catepillars.

B & M still makes tranny fluid? Do they still come in the old school oil cans where you have to puncture the top with the funnel?

The "NEW" Red Line Lightweight Racing ATF is working really well.

Hey Guys, I agree. Type F is as good as any and less expensive. Just don't mix with something else!!

We do use tractor oil in the lenco. Stuff smells like burnt tranny fluid and its clear fluid. TSR transmission in NH. has been trying the hydrolic/tractor fluid in test transmissions. I have not heard yet but he is trying it. I will let you know what I find out.

90% of the guys running bottom 70's and 60's are running tractor fluid, can u say john deer green in their lenco drives. 100 deg cooler than mobile 1 or trick shift.
