It isn't the fact that you need a real synthetic in a trans, the thing doesn't get hot enough folks. I run 10-30 syntec, which is a fake synthetic BUT the additives are why I use it. In stead of real syn oil they add slick additives to it, this stuff loves transmitions. Do I run the stuff in the engine? Nope I run only Delo 400 for brake in and Royal Purple after that.

Re: SD A555 Lubrication??
A few years ago they announced a new formula and raised the price. The story is that when they lost the lawsuit against Castrol for labelling an oil that uses group III base a synthetic, Mobil 1 switched from a group IV base down to a group III as well. I still have some old stock of M1, but once that's gone I plan to switch to RP. They cost the same, retail. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 8/22/2007 3:51:23 P.M.

Re: SD A555 Lubrication??
Either way Mobil1 is much more slippery than conventional 5w30 and that is the underlying problem with using it in a tranny and why it should be avoided. Whether they want to start with dinojuice and make it into their highly refined basestock or start at the lab ultimately it doesn't matter much since they end up with pretty much the same chemical properties. It is always about cheaper in this world. If the petroleum base gets expensive they will switch back to the true syntehtic one... -Rich On Thu, 23 Aug 2007, eric wrote: Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:11:08 -0700 (PDT) From: eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SD A555 Lubrication??

Re: SD A555 Lubrication??
5w30 conventional valvoline engine oil has given me the best performance in the 523/543/568 transmissions. One thing I noted is that if you have old fluid in your transmission (many turbododge people probably have ORIGINAL fluid!) try changing it. It does make a difference. Funny how I read old automobile magazines from the early 90's and they complain about my Daytona's shifter not being up to snuff. Sorry, but these things shift better, more accurately than any comparable car of that era. 15 years, 148,000 miles, zero synchro grindage, no sloppy shifter, never am I not positive on what gear I just got done shifting into. Just some inexpensive rubber bushings in need of replacement. Choose the right car based on your needs. Check out Yahoo!

Re: SD A555 Lubrication??
This is an area of some debate, but the general consensus is to stick with 5w-30 dino juice or Redline MTL. M1 caused slightly reduced shifting performance for me, but since M1 is no longer a true synthetic anyway, it probably doesn't matter. Russ Chris VanKauwenberg wrote: The car is an 88' Shelby Z with a A555. What is the recommended lubrication for this transmission. I used to use 5w-30 in all of my previous Chrysler 5-speeds, and I'm wondering if that has changed as this is my first A555. If motor oil is the recommended lubricant, would Mobil 1 synthetic be the best choice? Thanks in advance any info. Chris[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
